10/16/2008 AM post

Wynne continues to improve and has a great deal of awareness about what is going on around her. She continues to make very funny jokes (speaking in a whisper), but is also experiencing a great deal of pain on the right side of her head, and in her right eye and ear due to the brain swelling. We are waiting for a “swallow test” later today to see if they can remove her feeding tube and switch to something closer to real food (and oral medications). The overwhelming majority of the nursing staff here at the Med have been outstanding in their care for Wynne. The have made a huge difference (I haven’t seen any sign of Nurse Ratchett for a while).

Wynne has asked me to say hi to everyone and thanks everybody for the well wishes, thoughts, prayers, and support. She is looking forward to being switched to regular room where she might be able to see more people wishing to visit.

My thanks also continue to go to all of you for the same reasons. All for now.
