Saturday Jana News

Email on Jana's daily update:

If you have been able to visit Jana lately, you know she has greatly improved. And it appears that the medical staff agrees. Most of the various therapists and medical services have signed off on Jana moving directly into an intensive in-patient rehab facility. The way Warren has described it to me, there is now an 80% chance that Jana will be moved on Monday to an in-patient intensive rehab facility, and if it does happen, there is a 70% chance that she will be at the University of Washington.

Jana is also beginning to have more independence, which she greatly values. Warren was able to take Jana in a wheelchair to the hospital cafeteria for lunch, where she could select her own food when she wanted to eat it, rather than a day ahead. And, as long as there is a nurse with her, Jana can now walk (well, perhaps hop?) with a walker a short distance.

We've had a number of people sign up to sit with Jana yesterday and today. However, we could really use a few more folks for late afternoon and early evening on Sunday. If you would like to sit with Jana ... you are welcome to email me today and I will put your name and info onto the ... calendar.

Jana is enthusiastic about the possible move to rehab, and I am sure we will all be cheering as well. When Jana does move, I will share whatever information I get about where she is, visiting hours, and other useful information.
