Moving Out of SICU

Em called a bit ago to tell us that she is moving out of the surgery ICU to a regular (single) recovery room tonight! This is great news and yet another sign that she is a rock star in every way. She is pretty much free of tubes and IVs at this point. She is taking her meds orally and getting out of bed on a regular basis. I visited her earlier this evening and we walked the "loop trail" around the SICU:) She is keeping total and complete boredom at bay by listening to The Omnivore's Dilemma, which Chas loaded onto an IPod for her, and reading trashy magazines. Some things never change! 'Night, Kate

Hey, Kate... Any chance we can get a new photo?
How are the boys (including Pete) doing?

Hello Emily - you are a stud! This is wonderful news! I know that you were disappointed, as were we, that you could not come out to Seattle this year to see Pete's beloved Red Sox beat up on the M's. But here is the good news, we should have a completely new team next year - actually, maybe by next month the way we are going! Anyway, we will have a more competitive team so we can promise you all a better ball game. We'll all look forward to that and in the meantime, keep up the great work and know that you are in our thoughts.
Love, Tom & Barbara

Yeah Emily! Kate, thanks for all of the updates. I love hearing of Emily's super woman strength! I've been trying to contact the VP of "Everything Else" to see if there is anything I can do to help out with the boys, but her mailbox is full! That is a good sign. :) So call me if I can help out - taking the boys out for fun, etc.
