hi all - i saw Judy this afternoon... she is now in the intermediate care section. Jude had a procedure this morning to replace a tube, so she was mostly sleeping off the anesthesia. She was also visited by a touch theraphy/healer which seems to relax her, which is great. I only stayed for a few minutes...just long enough to say hello, and rub her feet a bit. Amy leaves tonight after a full week of outstanding care... Thank you a million times over, Amy! Howe should be at Rose now with Judy, and Kayci stopped in this afternoon, too. Judy had other visitors today as well; I didn't get to talk to all of them, but I'm sure that their presence was helpful!

So, Judy is understandably weak right now, after two major surgeries, and a procedure this morning. What I think she needs right now is a huge surge of love and energy... your prayers/thoughts/cards/calls/visits will really carry her through this phase, and get her out of the hospital, and back home! Thanks for all of your efforts; I know that you are helping her!

I'll try to see Judy tomorrow as well, so more updates will be coming from me... if you visit or call or want to share some info about Judy here, follow the info on one of the posts (thanks Thomas!)... use passcode Chaco123.
