Resting comfortably

Much to our chagrin, they hurried us out of the ICU this morning (its comforting to have your own personal bedside nurse!). However, we're thrilled that Caroline is doing well and fit to leave the ICU. We are now on the "surgical floor," the last stop before going home; however, we anticipate we'll be here at least a couple of days before that will happen. Caroline is finally resting very peacefully and we are all quite relieved that she has fewer lines and tubes sticking out of her body. Her fever is gone and her vitals remain quite stable. All is well and we couldn't be happier with the way things are progressing today.


Thanks everyone for sending us positive energy. Your comments and well-wishes are helping tremendously. Can't wait to send out some more good news!

  3. Leslie - I read through this and tears of joy came to my eyes. I didn't realize how much we all have been worrying about Caroline and you as well. I am so relieved to hear she is out of ICU, she is a true fighter!!! Congratulations!! XOXO

    PS: We have AC in our master bedroom, so me, Jeremey, Tatum and our dog Lucie all camped out in there for the evening, with TV and laptops. It's like camping with no heat but the reverse as we huddle around the AC swamp cooler!

  6. After being gone all day, I was anxious to check in. I imagined Caroline being uncomfortable today but your picture melted away all those concerns. She is so precious! Hope all of you can get some much needed rest tonight.
    Love ya, M&M
