A plan to get Brenda out of Intensive Care today didn’t come to fruition. Her blood pressure is still low and the nurses are trying to coax it upwards. Lots of good things though. She now looks more herself and was able to Facetime her Mom to sing her Happy Birthday. The physios managed to ease her into a chair for two half-hour stints and she also made two exploratory circuits of the ICU unit supported by a gaggle of acolytes. Very importantly, she was able to give her son a kiss in the flesh. I left her this evening freshly plumbed into a unit of the red stuff in the company of Madelaine.
Brenda won't back down

I was ecstatic to hear that you were awake and breathing on your own Tuesday! It made me realise that I had not been breathing either for a full day!
But to see how you are right now and … singing happy bday to your mom…. is just beyond belief.
You are simply amazing. I think I will have a real size carton of you made for my office!
Thinking of you and sending you lots of Canadian strong positive vibes!
Go Brenda!!!
A team Brenda member!
