So, the nurses slapped some Durma Bond on Mom's leak.
Tonight, they are removing half of her stitches. Tomorrow morning they will remove the remaining stitches. She will start taking the antibiotics orally.
Yes, folks. If there are no "episodes" tonight, Mom is being released tomorrow afternoon!!!
No insulin shots required.
No need for the feeding tube (although it will remain attached for another 4 weeks just in case).
Unbelievable.
Mom would like to thank all of you for taking this journey with her. You made the operation much easier to face, the recovery much faster and the hospital bearable.
I know you all are anxious to see Mom. She wants to see you, too. But she's asking for the remainder of the week to settle in. Please wait until Monday before visiting the house. Also, my parents have requested that you call before stopping by. Thank you so much for being so understanding, so willing to help and so concerned about Mom. She's so lucky to have such a wonderful group of loving and caring people in her life.
And don't worry, we will keep you updated. We will keep you updated as long as Mom will allow it! And I promise to have more pictures of Mom up soon. I've been sick, so I've stayed away from the hospital the past few days.
You did it Mom!
See you at home.

Mrs. Waddy is NOT allowed to be in the hospital. You get yourself out ASAP. I am sure you have made great friends with the nurses, but I know you are ready to get home. And if I remember correctly, TOOTING is something that comes VERY natural to your entire family! You are in my prayers- love ya

You have done an amazing job! I am extremely proud of you. I have trouble expressing in words how proud of you I am. I am excited you don't need insulin injections and you don't need to use your feeding tube! It is truly amazing. God does work miracles and you are evidence of that. Kitty Girl will be so happy to see you back home! I love you! You are amazing and I can't wait to get back down there to see you.

Would 'nurse Larry' consider making house calls?
