Another quick reversal, so this will be a quick post. Just after I posted my last, her surgeon came in and reported that, in the hour or so since we had last seen her, Barb's numbers were all looking better, the pressure was lowering, and her fluids seemed to be absorbing pretty well. The decision was thusly made to skip out on surgery for tonight and keep an eye on her. If things turn around again, they'll operate on her when the time seems right, but the time is not that now, so we wait.
Maybe having us in to talk to her had a positive effect.
Her three parentals just left the hospital, to stay at their hotels until the morning comes. It's been a long day; I can't say I blame them. I'm going to take things a little more calmly myself; I'm going into the surgical ICU to sit next to her bed, talk to her, and maybe even read my multicultural lit textbook. This will therefore be my last blog post of the night.
Keep us in your prayers. We're not out of the woods yet, but daylight is breaking through the branches...

You've been amazing, Del. Thank you for your posts and keeping us all informed. I believe strongly that she can hear your words - please tell her we love her and are sending our prayers. I hope you get a bit of rest tonight. Stay strong - we're all thinking of you and sending you love.
Thanks, Leah. I'm hanging in there; I keep watching Mahna Mahna to help keep it going. :)
Keep the prayers coming; we need all we can get. More news when I get it...
