There are definitely less tears, and more positive thinking around here.

Hansen power
Just talked to Barri's sister, who was an ICU nurse in Seattle for 2 years. She told me the nurses and doctors take better care of the patients whose families are there watching (even if they will be talking about us and rolling their eyes for weeks after my mom gets better). So in that regard, we are doing all that we can! And can I just say, there was a point on Saturday when Amy had on gloves and was helping...although that won't surprise anyone who knows Amy! Also I walked in yesterday and a nurse from a different station called out to me "Oh, would you take these back to your mom?" and hands me three bags of IV antibiotics. I loved the look on the doctors face when I walked in with her drugs and told him I should probably start getting a paycheck now.

I will tell you that sitting there works. My father-in-law was in the Fairfax Telemetry Unit, and without us there all the time (I will annoy anyone for more or better care) he would not have gotten the answers/attention that he received. Keep it up, everything you are doing is greatly appreciated.
BTW: Now I want Mint Chocolate Chip ice-cream!

Hear, hear! Amy, you bring tears to my eyes. Not of sorrow, but you touch my heart with your bravery. You all do.
Janet spent 3 hours sitting up - that sounds like a great change of attitude. Ha ha - get it? "Change of attitude?"
