ICU

This is Brad (Jessica's better half).

Jessica was admitted to the ICU Thursday afternoon. She was with Lindsay and made it to physio, but deteriorated quickly. Every step was impossible, every breath heavy and shallow.

She went to CF clinic at St. Michaels and they sent her straight to the ICU.

After 48 hours she has been moved to the medicine floor. She was annoying everyone in the ICU so they booted her.....

Actually, she has started showing signs of improvement and continues to get better slowly but surely.

She appreciates all the positive comments and support.

Jess will be back blogging shortly, in the meantime you may have to put up with me.

Until next time...

    When Lindsay texted me and said that you were in the ICU, by heart feel to the floor. You need to stop scaring me like that. I have to say that the bipap mask looks good on you. LOL. It was so great to hear your voice yesterday when you called me, even if it was for only 2 minutes. Hang in there Jess. You are the strongest women I know and you can make this journey. You have to get back to all of us here in NS cause we gotta have that BIG dance. Love you Red xoxo
