Mid-afternoon Update

Hi All,

Our patient is doing well, but still very tired. She has decided to stay the night in the hospital as she's developed a headache and is inclined to continue to just rest here (plus, the staff here is spoiling her with excellent care!).

Kristine had a good lunch, eating most of her soup and roll. She's drinking lots of water and she finally took some pain meds about 3:30 to help with her headache (the site of her surgery is not bothering her right now). She's sleeping as I type, but had been up for about an hour straight earlier this afternoon. She's doing great on the breathing exerciser and has been up and moving around a bit as well.

So I'm off to home for a while to check on the girls, get them fed, walk Harley and put Annierae to bed before I come back to tuck Kristine in (and deliver a few personal items she requested). I'll probably do a final post later tonight with any other updates. More later.

  2. Greg-
    Thanks for the update. So glad to hear all went well. Tell Kristine to take her time healing and to enjoy the spoiling in the hospital. We prayed for you this morning and will continue to do so.

  5. The updates are great - thank you so much! I want to ask how she's doing psychologically as well. Anestesia (excuse the spelling) can be a depressant! Don't get too tired yourself and please give her our love!!

  7. Kristine and Greg,
    I just got the news yesterday and its given me a heavy heart. My prayer is that you will feel God's peace no matter what is happening to you or around you. That His peace will carry you, strengthen you and give you a tenacity that only can come from Him. I'm also praying for a total healing. Rest in His grip. ~Amy
