Just got back from getting Kristine squared away for the night. Her extraordinary recovery continues as she has been walking around a bit since I left and she ate a big dinner. She has been chatting it up with all the nurses and docs and is doing well both physically and emotionally. She hasn't taken any pain meds since the one Vicodin around 3:00pm today. She still has a touch of a headache, but the area around the incisions is not bothering her at all! There is a minor issue with her two drains, they are not maintaining the suction properly. The doctor said this is not an issue as a) there is not much drainage and b) they can manual pump them a few times during the night to ensure any fluid is evacuated.
The best news is they expect to discharge her between 9:00am and 10:00am tomorrow, and she told me tonight she'll be ready to come home :) She was able to call home and talk to the girls briefly tonight and they were thrilled to hear mommy's voice. Annierae had a busy day and was out cold by 8:30pm. Ja is calling home to Burma tonight, then off to bed. I'm going to wrap up a few e-mails and head off to bed myself as it's been a long -- but good -- day!
Thank you all again for your thoughts, prayers and support! Kristine said she definitely felt the positive results and could not have done as well as she has without everything you have all done and God's tremendous help!
Good night!
