Lucy's acting quite odd today, as her body adjusts to the drain being removed. CT scan was clear, so they went ahead and removed it.

They're confident in her physiological state, and have moved her to another room out of ICU. Now it's simply a waiting game to see if she comes back to us, in working order. Today at lunch she wasn't as good behaviorally as she had been in the past, although she was both giddy and mentioning how good she felt.

It's difficult to not stress out, even when she shows signs of progress. If you see any of us on the street, at a restaurant, even find yourself driving by on you way home - stop and hug. They go a long way.
