Paul's Update for Wednesday April 5th
Karen continues to do a little better each day. They continue to periodically reduce her sedative to see how she is going to react, but each time she gets agitated. We believe this is because she is aware of many things, and probably doesn't know what has happened to her, or frankly why she has a tube stuck down her throat. Ideally, they would like to fix all of that by taking the tube out. That may happen here either Thursday or Friday. We will see.
The Doctors and Nurses have indicated that they believe that spasms have subsided or stopped. This is great news.
The big news of the day though is the great pair of Converse All Stars that her
brother Eric bought her. The Nurses indicated that her feet were beginning to drop from lying in bed for so long, and some good high topped sneakers would take care of this. So, now she is sporting some white ones with checkered green and black tongues and laces on the top and a bright yellow stripe around the edge. Very appropriate for Karen I would have to say. I think she'll get a real "kick" out of them when she realizes they are on her.
I have purchased an inexpensive CD player that now sits on the table in her room. So, bring the music on. You can send it to the hospital, but it may be easier to send to Karen at my office:

Leave it to Karen to be acquiring cool new shoes through this whole thing ;)
Glad to hear of the progress... and we'll keep praying, and Karen, you keep fighting!!!
Paul et al,
My heart goes out to you!
I know Karen as "wildflower" from the RWOL world, and while I live in Seattle and have never met her, she's always seemed upbeat and in good spirits. Wishing a thorough and 'speedy' -- well, relatively -- recovery!
I'm a total music geek and might end up burning a CD to send along... I'll try to find some upbeat stuff that I feel represents Karen's spirit... at least the one I see online!
Hugs and healing vibes,
Brooke (RunBrooke to the RWOLers, "internetverite" in the blogspot world)
