Coughing Better

Angela's cough is getting better. She is coughing up some nasty stuff, and the respiratory therapist was able to suction quite a bit of it out. She responds well to the percussion over her lung - so well that tonight they are even going to wake her up a couple of times for that, instead of letting her sleep. Today, she sat up in the chair for about three hours. She stood up for much longer - maybe a minute or so - with Physical Therapy and took some very small shuffle steps in getting from the bed to the chair.

The tentative plan is for her to move from ICU to a rehab hospital a couple of miles away some time next week.

God is continuing to bless her with healing and we are continuing to thank Him.
