8/23 - Still in the ICU

Kristine will spend another night in the ICU tonight for close monitoring. Her blood pressure is still quite low and she is still draining a lot of fluids from her chest cavity. She is doing well overall, but coughing up the fluid in her lungs is painful and irritating. Although she's disappointed that she can't see more visitors while in intensive care, she's enjoying the extra comfort, staff attention and rest.

We will see how things go tomorrow.

  2. Lauren and I have you both in our thoughts and prayers. (Ryan, from our first days in the Campus Center Basement it was clear that you have a rare mix of intelligence, perseverence and optimism. It's made you success and a trusted friend for those of us lucky enough to call you one. There's not a better person to be in Kristine's corner right now. Be strong and send Kristine our love.)
