We woke to some good news today. Cindy had a good night and is improving.
Don’t forget how Cindy likes to be the social butterfly. Please send your favorite story and/or pictures for this blog. Make sure you check out the pictures and stories on the Memory Lane pages. You can get to them by the links on the right.
- Her lungs sound better.
- Her oxygen setting level on the ventilator was lowered to 50% which means the ventilator is only giving her 50% of her oxygen. The other 50% is on her own. Big improvement.

- She is now being fed (TPN via PICC)
- Her Blood Pressure medication has been reduced.
- She is urinating – kidneys working. She won’t be having dialysis today and no diuretics to she how her kidneys function.
- White blood cell count went from 24000 to 17000
Cindy has been getting lots of prayers.
A Rabbi came in to do a m’sheberach. Her blood pressure dropped.
Cousin Cliff is putting her on his shul’s m’sheberach list.
Rita prays the Rosary morning and night.
Lucy, Rita’s mom, and her friends pray the Rosary when they are at the hospital.
Everyone is ‘virtually’ praying for her.
Nike says that Mercury is going direct! Three day wobble but she is out of the astrological woods!
I think Cindy is in good shape, spiritually.
