Thankful, um..., okay, Saturday

[mdlbear]

I'm tempted to just let Colleen -- Update 4 stand as this week's Thankful Thursday (which is when I posted it), but there really are more things and people that need calling out specifically. So here you go. Today I'm thankful for

• Colleen's amazing recovery,
• Dr. Rangel and Dr. H (it's a middle-European name that nobody can remember how to spell),
• the nurses and nursing assistants at WhidbeyHealth Medical Center, especially Ellen, Belinda, and Katarina in the ICU
• three or four antibiotics, all but one of which I've never heard of,
• our awesome family (special callouts to Naomi, Chaos, and Emmy), and
• our awesome friends (special callout to Colleen's caregiver, V, who's spent nearly as much time with Colleen as I have), and
• all your prayers, healing thoughts, and good wishes.
