Home Again

Jim and I are back home again, this time for the week, as we also have to head back to work. Mary looked amazing when we saw her yesterday. The swelling in her eye is completely gone and the bruising has almost completely subsided. She was awake, up in her chair, and attempting to eat. She had her same sense of humor and really just was Mary. It doesn't appear that any cognitive loss has taken place which is just fantastic. Last night after we left, the doctors wanted to try turning off the drain coming out of her head. If she didn't experience any severe headaches, they could take it out today. We did receive an update from Mike around midnight, and they had to turn the drain back on. So, they'll try again soon. I'm just so excited that they are at the point where they can start thinking about disconnecting some of the critical things attached to her. I know she is very anxious to get out of the ICU.

So, I will keep you all updated as the week goes on. Jim and I are headed back to Boston next weekend. I have a bachelorette party to go to, and he'll spend it with his mom and dad. Thanks again for all the love and support!
