Just a quick post: Jiliang is making small strides in the right direction. Those pulmonary sure love to move upwards, and that is currently our biggest worry. However, they are currently not bad, although not what they should be. In the long run, we hope that they will come down consistently. They are not talking about extubated her yet, and that may be a big source of her agitation or stress; but she still needs some of those extra supports. She is still so sedated that I am unable to communicate with her. I do continue to talk with her and let her know that I am here. I can't wait to see her open her eyes and be able to show her that we all love and support her.
I am leaving early tonight, because I have to be at home with my son tonight. Our house is certainly different without her. Scott and I were both just discussing how it was just him, T.J. and I for years, and now her abscence from our home is leaves us all missing her. It seems so quiet and lonely without her, although we are doing the best to stay positive in the midst of everything. We will be celebrating her homecoming greatly when she is released.

Jill, your post tugged at my heart. You are all in our thoughts and prayers that Jiliang health problems will be resolved and she will come home soon. I am certain she knows how much you love her. She is a very lucky girl to have found you.
