Sorry Aunt Sue! Here is today's update...
Mom is doing terrific today. They are slowly weaning her...this morning they removed the on-q pain relief ball that was administering continuous local anesthetic to the intra-operative site. Mom is taking oral pain medication. She is left with the IV in her left hand and the feeding tube in her stomach. The feeding tube is not being used...mom is on a soft diet and has been doing great! Mom is getting up and down on her own to use the restroom. She is even passing gas...that is a good sign mom is getting back to her old self.
Mom had a 102.4 fever throughout the night but seems to be doing better this morning. She is still having to complete her breathing exercises throught the airlife machine. They took x-rays this morning to make sure everything is healing properly and no symtoms of ammonia...I will let you know the results as soon as I find something out. Dr. Danaker is off saturday and sunday, Dr. Lee will be on call throughout the weekend.
Yesterday, the doctor said her white cell count looked good. Good news...we don't want an infection!
Sheila and Jane...thank you so much for helping out at the hospital! We love you both and appreciate all your support!

Dad also said that her sugar count was 108, which is perfect!
ANGELA, YOU ARE A HOOT111 Like I said it would be well worth the wait. You come up with the darnest
things girl. Write a book and make
millions! Did you get my email last
night? Tell my brother-in-law when Rose gets at the end of the bed and
starts singing 'the star spangle banner', she will definitely be ready 'to mov'in on up' and get on
out of there! xoxoxo Aunt Sue
X-rays were normal.
