Thursday. majic

Today was a good day or an uneventful day. She was very responsive when waking her up, or at least she smiled once everytime (90%) of the time. I still am in limbo here at the hospital. Susan and Larry got a room last night and i slept on the couch till about noon. I guess we went to lunch, and went to dinner. They did more xrays on her legs to determine damage there, which was slightly disconcerting. These doctors and nurses are amazing but sometimes it seems like they are backtracking its lots of ways.  She fell off a five story building and didn't break any or her arms or legs, wow, how did she do that? All the trama was done on her midsection and back. It was an amazing day too, stories from the rooms next door had us all excited. Miracles were happening. Susan had started up a journal or the days on Caringbridge.org and  prayers were flooding in. Daily thousands of people came to tell how much Nicole meant to them. I have been pretty bad on talking to people still. I get extremely emotional when it comes to people I care about. My sister and Chase came yesterday and she is the only family confidant I can talk to (and yes cry on) She has been amazing in helping. Others, I just want them to stay away until Nicole gets past the ICU. We got a slightly good word from the doctors and it looks like they want to take out her breathing tube tomorrow. Everythiing was looking up up up. Went went out to eat and a random irish pub karaoke bar, I felt bad but we needed food and it was the best meal I have had yet 
(steak of course). They say that we must take care of ourselves to take care of her. I haven't taken care of myself in a long time so I kinda feel like I am going to have a heart attack every hour. But i felt good tonight. We came back and the two nurses on duty were amazing, Sanghamitra (Sang) is a down to earth kick as nurse and Stephanie is a blond haired travelling snacker. They let me stay in the room most of the night Nicole while they worked. We danced, we played music on my laptop. And nicole seemed in good spirits when she was roused. Majic was in the air today and I was happy and positive. I slept in the room with her that night for a bit and then hit the couch early am and put Larry on duty. Things were looking good.
