Mary is doing very well at this time. She spent most of the day sedated so that she was comfortable with the ventilator still in. Currently scheduled to have the vent removed around 10:00 AM tomorrow morning. Her fluid output continues to increase as well as getting lighter which are good signs on the kidney function starting to work more. She was awake a little on my last visit around 9:00 PM. She smiled and had me adjust the bed a little. Told her how much I love her and that she was doing great and that she just needed to keep resting - she actually nodded her head in approval.

Big shout out to our friends Bill, Cindy, Brady and Will Rinehart who spent the afternoon with Claire allowing me to come and go visiting with Mary and doing some errands around town and the house.
