ICU Day #11 / Hospital Day #44
Mid Day Report - Kathleen remains on dialysis. It is helping to reduce the excess fluids and the extreme swelling. She still looks very tired and remains heavily sedated. Her oxygen ratio has been moved down to 40% from its 100% last Thursday. She did test positive for the VRE so she will start a new antibiotic today. They also plan to replace several of the lines that are drawing blood and pumping in the fluids to prevent infection.
Yesterday Mark and Nancy from the city dropped off two giant cards from the city managers titled "Helping Hand for Kathleen". They read the many comments from the city managers around town. Kathleen has been a SLACMA member for a number of years and served in a number of leadership roles including president of the association. The cards are now posted on the walls for her to see when she wakes. I also plan to read them again to her tonight.
Plan to be back later tonight so I will update after that. - Rodger

Dear Roger,J.M.& A.J.,
Just a note, to let you know you all on are on our minds, and in our hearts, 24-7. Tell Kathy, we send our Love and Prayers.
Today a year ago, I lost my Mother. Going to be a whopper for me today, I guess.
My wonderful Ellen, helped us all, with the whole ordeal. I would have never held up without her. I was truly blessed with an Angel, as soon as She entered my life.
If I'm correct, A.J. will be 10, on 9/20/04. Time goes pretty quick, after you hit the 30 mark.
Take care Rog. call if you need anything. I have a Beach Bonanza, My friend said we could use to fly up, if needed. Our Planes are fine, but the Beachcraft cruises about twice as fast as our quickest plane.
Candle's lit.
Love yyou all. Ed& Ellen
