Marilyn, beyond all expectations, is awake and responsive. The breathing tube is out. Of course, Buddy can’t go see her in the hospital because of Covid. When he checked her in, they let him stay in a waiting room by himself until they got her through surgery, then he had to leave. That was better than nothing. Today, they held a phone up so Buddy could face-time with her. They haven’t let her talk yet, but she is alert. Amazing.
Hurricane Laura missed us and pummeled Louisiana.
Afternoon update. Marilyn talked on the phone with Buddy. Just a few words. Yesterday it seemed hopeless, totally nonresponsive, and today she’s talking on the phone! Still critical. Still in ICU. Not out of the woods, but continuing amazing.
And now Laura is on top of Arkansas.
