Good news when I walked in the door to Carolyn's hospital room this evening. Jacqueline was standing in the spot previously occupied by the IV stand! Carolyn was unhooked from the stand and given a degree of freedom.

Freedom, like so many things is relative. Carolyn's version of freedom means she can rollover in bed (more easily), use the bathroom, (instead of portable commode), and has a greater range of motion to reach for objects on the bedside tray. This is great. Right now she is awaiting her dinner delivery, as am I. Car's meal is coming from the dining hall (surprisingly good food) while Jacque is doing a dinner run for the two of us.

I have been thinking about may things to type as updates today, more global views and reflections on this ordeal, but right now I am way too tired. maybe later.
