Good news today - Jenn has been moved from Intensive Care to a "high care" room - which means she is improving. They removed one of the tubes from her lungs, and the tubes from her neck, and she has been taken off morphine - which is good and bad. She is beginning to feel the pain more, and they are really controlling her pain medication - and working toward taking her off of oxygen. With the reduction in her pain medication, her eye is beginning to throb, and she won't see the eye doctor until Monday.
Jenn did walk, with a walker, from one room to the other. In her new room, she has a little more space around her bed, a table, and can have some personal effects - hairbrush, tooth brush, etc.
They don't think she will be in "High Care" long, will move from there to a regular room, and then to a "halfway house", from which she will be transported to the hospital for treatment, until she is strong enough for a 30 hour flight.
She has a cell phone, 01127798570961. I don't know when she will be able to receive calls, will find that out later - least expensive way to call is from a land line using an international calling card.
Turns out the Tim had a punctured lung also, they just told Brenda that today - so he is in the hospital another day or so, and will be moved to a half way house.
Her mom is planning on staying through Sunday night, taking the Monday flight home, which means she will be here Tuesday evening.
