Two days ago things were looking gravely bad, but now things are actually looking pretty good! The doctors have gotten a good combination of meds to keep her blood pressure up and her heart beating strong so that her heart can recover. She's getting depressed, and that's pretty sad, but at least it's not a physical problem. She's all hooked up to machines, including a breathing tube down her throat, which isn't really her favorite thing to be going through - she likes to remain pretty active. But tommorow they're gonna start weaning her off of that stuff slowly, and she'll be able to sit up without the breathing tube. I might even be able to go visit her on Sunday!

5. That's very good news

Just being in the hospital is depressing and hooked up to stuff is worse, she'll feel happier when she is off the machines and home.
