Sunday update: waking up again

Hi everyone,

Sorry we didn't update yesterday, but there really was nothing new to share. They kept Natalie asleep, and she is recovering comfortably. Her pressures look really good, and they think they will try to discontinue the paralytic again today and allow her to slowly wake up again. Heidi and I are excited to see her open her eyes, although that is unlikely to happen until tomorrow. It takes quite a bit of time for the paralytic to wear off enough to allow her to function that much.

She is looking much better, as the swelling has gone down considerably. Her skin is much warmer, and she looks much more like herself than she did a couple of days ago. We're waiting patiently, and we will update more thoroughly tonight after we get more details from the doctors.  Go Vikings!!!

Here are a couple of pictures from this morning.
