I got to speak with both Kurt and Cindy a few minutes ago. Lindsey is still doing great! She had a bronch this morning and her lungs look fantastic. The surgeon came by and emphasized that it was important to get up and moving. Lindsey marched in place at the side of the bed earlier, and they will get her up and walk out of the room this afternoon. Her sugars are still good, and she'll possibly be back on insulin pump this afternoon. She's on a full liquid diet, and has had some ice cream. Last night the swan-gantz catheter (in her neck) came out. Pain in her shoulders has been an issue - the epidural goes to about mid-chest, so they are giving her additional pain meds for this. They are working on getting her a PCA (patient controlled analgesia) pump. She is just waiting on a room to move out to the regular floor. Cindy told Lindsey about all the messages you have been leaving for her. I know she's got some surprises coming to her, too! Cindy and Kurt said their phones are ringing non-stop and that they had no idea just how many people cared about Lindsey. <img src="i/expressions/heart.gif" border="0"> I can't wait until we get her back to making her own posts! In the mean time I am thrilled to be able to report such good news.

"Tomorrow it begins.
The NEW Journey that I am starting.
The Journey that I hope and pray will change my world."
Lindsey "coltsfan7153" Blog 2/13/2007
Tomorrow is now yesterday, your journey's now a quest,
You'll show the world that you have changed, you'll turn out for the best!
You got the call you waited for, at 2 AM it came.
The process now in motion, you'll never be the same.
We're told that you insisted, no way you could have waited,
You stood - you stepped - when you were extubated.
Your journey's now a footrace, no green bottle by your side.
You'll take deep breaths, you'll walk then run, you'll even take 'great strides'.
Your friends here on the forum wait impatiently for word
Of any news of progress, and this is what we've heard....
She's Superwoman, doing more than any could expect
But this is what we've come to know, the Lindsey we respect.
We cannot wait for you to post more thoughts and information
Your blogs have brought us to both tears and true jubilation.
You've shared your fears, your hurts and thoughts of total insight
You've won our hearts, dear Lindsey, and now we share your fight.
We pray for you to get well soon, and return with greater strength!
Then we can join in the chat room and we'll talk at length!
Rest now, breath easy, and recuperate...
Your 'whole new world' does now await!
