At the UTG meeting last night, a lot of concern and caring was devoted to her.

The medical team is beginning the process of raising her body temperature as a prelude to waking her from her induced coma. That will take two days, and be followed by the critical wake-up removal of the coma-inducing drugs. Everything is stable for now, and she looks good - even in person. I know she wouldn't think so, but she looked just fine to me as I watched her breath smoothly and the monitors indicate steady heartbeat and blood pressure and all. I left her room after telling Mallory that there was no way she was going to get out of being responsible for lining up the speakers agenda for the next Texas Speleological Association Spring Convention, a job she has done for the last three years. It was also a great pleasure to see her brother Caleb Mayeux and meet Mal's mom Vickie, Mallory's aunt, and an old friend from her college days. We shared Mallory stories, and I was able to tell Vickie of my own recovery in 2005 after 9 days in an induced coma. I assured her that Mal is much tougher than I, and that there is nothing to worry about, Things will be difficult in the short term as Mallory will have to work hard to recovery her strength and I know she will be itching to drop pits again ASAP.
