The Rest of the Day After Surgery 2/6/12

Sheila has been in and out of sleep mode all day.  The doctor and the nurses believe she is on or even a little ahead of schedule for recovery from this operation.  She was able to have a video chat with her grandchild Robbie last night.  That really perked her up.  Afterwards she took a dose of morphine and was out for a couple of hours.  She loves her children and grandchild and they have always seemed to help her overcome all odds.

We have received a lot of email, texts, and blog comments.  Thanks to all of you.  During Sheila’s awake times I have rehearsed all of them to her.  We have laughed, smiled, and cried with all of the uplifting and humorous things that have been sent to us from our friends and family.  Thank YOU!!  for all of your prayers and good wishes!

Tomorrow will be a harder day with the necessity to make it to the water closet, and with the pain medication and oxygen levels being lowered.  We are greatly encouraged by the results of today and expect that tomorrow will hold more good things leading to Sheila’s complete recovery.
