[tri-med] Re: Brianna in ICU

Laurie,

I'm glad Brianna's fever is down, and things went well.  It's must be a 
relief to have the big part over and having her off the respirator.  It's so 
unnerving to have that thing there, but if it comforted her, that makes 
things better!

Give her an extra gentle hug for her list friends...

Jennifer, mom to Arwen, 9; Elanor, 7 (T18); caregiver to Joe 27, and Eric,
