Spending the night with Vicki...

I'm on my way to spend the night with Vicki tonight and wanted to give everyone a quick update before heading to the hospital. Her temp has continued to fluctuate and they are looking for sources of infection. They changed her catheter yesterday and took out her central line today and replaced it with an iv. She's had some trouble with nausia today as well. They did a CT scan of her chest and abdoman and all looks good. There will be a family meeting tomorrow with her physicians to discuss her care plan over the next several weeks. We'll let you know how that goes.

As for visitors at the hospital - some people have come by and not seen any family in the waiting room and they don't know how to find us. There is a phone on the wall outside the ICU waiting room designated for ICU Stepdown. Just pick that phone up and it will ring the nurses station. They will let us know you are there and we'll come out. For those of you who continue to bring snacks to the hospital - we are so appreciative of your thoughtfulness. As for others who continue to help with child care, meals and loving support - thank you. Your prayers continue to sustain us.

Just want the entire Norris family to know that Ted and Patti Frazier have Hank's entire family in our thoughts and prayers. Hank, if you need anything, just give me a call.

Just wanted to check in and see how she was doing. You all are still in my thoughts and prayers. I have been sick so I haven't had the chance to come back by there, I didn't want to pass this stuff around. Please give Vicki my love.
