Barbara (Circe) is out of ICU (xpost)

******Re-post from misc.kids******

Barbara was moved from the makeshift overflow ICU at Grossmont
Hospital (it's really their surgical recovery room) to a regular
hospital room after midnight last night. She is disconnected from all
the tubes, IVs, etc. and is able to be up and around. I came home
after she was settled in, about 1:30 a.m.

We aren't sure how much longer she will be in the hospital. I may
take my laptop computer in today and see if we can hook it up so that
she can get into the Internet and see all your good wishes.

Michael will take the kids up to see her this morning. She has a
breast pump to keep the pressure off and the supply going. I don't
know if there are any restrictions on her nursing due to any drugs
they are giving her, but if not, I'm sure Vernon will be right back at
it!

Oh, thank Goodness! I missed the original post about her being in the
hospital and am relieved to have read this after the fact, so that I didn't
have to worry about her! Poor Barbara, what a terrifying experience. I'm
so glad to hear that she's doing so much better. Have they adjusted her meds
around?

What *great* news! More prayers on the way for a rapid recovery and return
to normalcy.

Posts! We want posts!

When she can write (to us) then we know she is OK.

How's this, Larry? Ask and ye shall receive!

Seriously, thank you all for all your good thoughts, prayers, and
wishes.
I'm sure they helped. It was rough going there for a couple of days, but
I feel well enough now that I think they may spring me once they are
sure
I can do all my meds at home. I'm breathing well, although my chest
still
hurts a bit from where they pounded on me while I was in cardiac arrest.

We still really have no idea what brought on this sudden, severe attack.
I went from a mild asthma attack that is no biggie to complete pulmonary
arrest within about 10 minutes, so it's a little frightening to
contemplate a reoccurence, but the pulmonologist seems reasonably
confident that Advair (which is a combination steriod, serevent and
something else that escapes me) will do the trick and knock it back to
where I don't have to worry about this happening again.

Basically, I'm extremely lucky that a) I called 911 when I did and b)
the team that worked on me was awesome. Another 5 minutes and I
probably wouldn't be writing this post, either because I'd be dead or
brain-damaged. But none of that happened and, aside from a bit of chest
discomfort and leaden limbs, I feel right as rain. To quote _The
Princess
Bride_, I was just a little bit dead!

Kids were here this morning. Julian was thrilled to see Mommy (he woke
when the ambulance arrived, so he knew something was really wrong),
Vernon nursed like a fiend (he kept checking under my gown to be sure
they were still there g), and Aurora seemed subdued but pleased to
see me. So all is well. I hope to be home by tomorrow at the latest.

Be well, Barbara (not quite dead yet!)

I'm confused now ... which Barbara? Or is Truffles a Barbara?
