Fantastic news, Sean!
I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Our wings are not tired.
That is good to hear, Sean.
I had to catch up to read all the homework commiseration posts. I really appreciate the comments. DH and I were both miserable failures at HS and yet we went on to do exceptionally well in college. And not so much failures in life. Still it is natural to want the boys to do better than we did. There isn't a thing in the world my parents could have done that would have made me perform better in HS. We'll just continue with the combo of rewards for no zeros in the homework column and denial of privilege when appropriate. It would be nice if parenting was all rewarding.
Now, to eat cheese enchiladas. yum yum

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

That's good news, Sean. She's in my thoughts, as are you.

Sean, that's GREAT news -- you said it yourself yesterday: the longer she was on the vent, the harder it would be to get her off it, so this is VERY good.

She's still quite distressed. And the hallucinations can be severe. She thinks people are trying to kill her, and she keeps trying to get out of bed, and remove the various life supporting implements protruding from her body.
But she can speak, and breathe on her own. And maybe half the time, she's lucid.

I'm glad S is off the ventilator, Sean. I hope she continues to get better, quickly.

Yeah, not out of the woods but progress. Still a bright spot.

I don't know if this is any comfort to you, but that's not uncommon in people who are hospitalized for severe illness/trauma/surgery. It happened to my dad many times; once he shot out of bed like it was a Wile E. Coyote catapult-bed and was all the way to the nurses' station, having ripped out his iv's (inadvertently, I think, just because some part of his brain wanted him to MOVE FAST OUT THE DOOR) and trailing tubing and dripping blood all down the hallway.
He really didn't remember doing it, except for what the nurses told him; they said it's a fucked-up thing that can happens when a patient has been sedated.
So, I guess, I'm trying to say that her hallucinations and acting out are not *bad* signs, per se.
