Thank you all so *very* much. We think sister in law is off the ventilator (husband doesn't ask the right questions, but since his bro said she was kinda talking, I'm going to assume she's off the vent). Still in ICU - they apparently had her on Narcan until this afternoon, so she sure did try hard. Concern now is kidney function, given that her illness had already messed them up pretty bad. The family doesn't speak medicalese so it's hard to get a read on what's really going on, but the important thing is it sounds like she's making progress in the right direction.
Actually, a lot of concerns, but... one step at a time right now. husband's family tends to ostrich things a lot, and apparently the whole concept of suicide has got someone/several someones bent out of shape. Not sure what's going on, but it sounds like things are getting kinda hairy, family-wise. Sigh....
I just hope and pray hospital staff will get a good support system in place for her locally.
Again, thank you all so very much for the good thoughts for her.
