My apologies for not updating this sooner, the hospital internet wasn't letting me get on the webpage. Mom is doing alright - she has good moments and bad moments. Her pain medication has been updated so that she is able to receive it every 3 hours instead of every 4 which makes a big difference and helps overlap so it doesn't wear off. She gets up and moves occassionally but is taking it easy today so that she can gauge whether she plans to go home or not - her doctor is leaving it entirely up to her. She wanted to update the blog herself but we decided to let her sleep instead, any sleep she can get that is uninterrupted is a blessing.
Mom continues to think of things to be thankful for: amazing staff at Paoli hospital, family surrounding her, her own pajamas, foot rubs, a shower, her own pillow, pain medication, and of course a good cup of coffee in the morning.
Her plastic surgeon came in last night and was very impressed with all she accomplished yesterday and says she is far ahead of most women after this kind of surgery. She is determined to get well and is doing her stretches and excercises despite hating them. She pushed herself a little far yesterday and wore herself out so she is taking today easy and asking for no visitors again so that she can gain some strength, get some rest and get home. She loves to read all of her messages and notes from all of you, they keep her encouraged and brighten her day. Thank you so much to all of you who continue to be faithful in pursuing prayers and support. From our family to all of you..we are eternally grateful.
