** As of 7:01pm **

Greg just emailed me with the following information about Angela. It's GREAT news!!

Theresa and I were up seeing Angela this evening, here's what we heard:

**Speech therapist will be coming in tomorrow to assess her swallowing to determine if she can take foods orally and have the feeding tube removed.
**Occupational therapist will be in also to help her start working on her motor skills.
**They have elevated the brain drain to see if her body will handle the fluid that is there. If so, they'll look at a timeline to possibly remove the drain. If her body does not handle/absorb the fluids, they'll start the process again to see if can get the result they're looking for - i.e. removing the drain. The nurse indicating that Dr. Thorell does not like to move his patients out of ICU until the drain issue is addressed - either the body is handling the fluids and there is no need for a drain, or they may look at a more long-term drain solution. She is having some headaches as a result of the drain being raised, but the nurses are providing pain-relief.
**She still has some fever fluctuation, but it could be tied to the pneumonia not being completely out of her system yet.
**She is moving quit a bit - which is normal for neurological patients. She's also opening her eyes pretty regularly - and is recognizing people and having some limited conversations.
**The vasospams appear to have passed.
