A day of rest

Today is Sunday. A day that Cathleen is resting, she is very exhausted from all of the tests and visitors. She has had a lot of family and friends visit and is very loved. When she gets visitors she communicates by writing on a clip board. She still has the breathing tubes in to help supply the much needed oxygen to her lungs. Today she is getting a blood transfusion to help her get oxygen through her body better. She has come a long way this week going from having only a 20% chance of making it to a 50% chance. As of today the docs have said that she will be in the ICU for another week. Her nurse Erin lets us know that this is the best place for her right now. After the ICU she should be moving down stairs to the rehab center. Yesterday they did some physical therapy with her, she sat up in bed and moved to a chair. When visiting beware of the squirt bottle, she is known to squirt when you aren't paying attention.
