day 3

Lindsay is still in ICU. This new doctor is desensitizing her correctly to move down to step down unit. It's a really specific process which is why it's taking a little longer.
Lindsay has finally learned how to cough! She feels a little congested no doubt from all the fluid which is inevitably around her new lungs. Her right lung is draining a lot she said (yes lindsay is now texting me, happy days!) Her vision is a little blurry, but again just all a balancing game of the meds.

She killed her walk today! aced it! two laps around the place. Her text messages sometimes read a little funny and she often says she's stoned on drugs, and that she doesn't see the point of self administering morphine during the night, when she is suppose to be sleeping to keep on top of the pain. She has cat naps throughout the night, and seems to be in good spirits. txting me jokes like "yoooooooooo!".
She was on 3 litres of oxygen yesterday while walking, and now is only on 1 litre. The new lungs are starting to kick in and inflate!

Keep sending Lindsay and her family positive thoughts. Her journey is not over yet!
GO Lindsay we love you!
