- Rachel was out of it all day, with just a couple of responses to nurses/visitors.
- She breathed on her own for about 2 hours today (up from 15 minutes yesterday)
- Dialysis this afternoon, with the now-familiar struggle to keep her blood pressure up while it's going on.
- Still something of a fever -- it was 101.2 when I left this afternoon. This despite the fact that her WBC count is now down to normal.
Tomorrow marks Rachel's 4-week anniversary in ICU. This isn't where we expected or wanted to be coming out of surgery, but we all know it could have been worse. Today's special acknowledgement goes to everyone who has helped with meals, house stuff and kid stuff over that period -- thanks.

Thanks for your responses! Due to the interest in Team Rachel shirts, I moved forward with the idea today. Should have design by tomorrow. Will give ordering details ASAP and hope to have them printed in short order!

Hi Pat,
I learned about Rachel from friends at Abbott and just wanted to let you know that I am really thinking about you and your family.
