Today, Saturday was the kind of day we have been looking and hoping for. The great barriers to progress, pain, nausea, grogginess, gastro-intestinal distress, all seemed to be considerably diminshed. Walking the halls several times a day is becoming a "hallmark" of her improvement. Also Pattie was able to have her first meal of solid food since before surgery. The intravenous feeding was withdrawn as well. This is particularly good news since there have been 5 different veins called into service to accommodate the needles. Some of these were particularly painful due to various rookie attempts at finding and entering veins. The areas of continued concern are fluid buildup, the return of the cough, and pain in the area of surgery. In the meeting with Dr. Donato today, he indicated that at the present rate of progress, Pattie will be able to be dismissed on Monday.
Thank you for your continued prayers and other expressions of love for us. God has used you to bless us during this Easter season. Happy Easter.

Even though it is late Sat night, I think you will get this on Sunday - Easter morning. Through these three days, Jesus suffering and death become so real - that He chose to die for us. It never ceases to be so special for me through many different sermons, celebrations and sharing. I praise God for this time of year, set aside to remember His sacrifice. I pray this Easter will be a special one for all of us = Pattie and Willie, especially.
ReplyDeletePattie - I hope you got to enjoy Rick Warren's sermon. I wanted to watch it but couldn't.
It is a new day, another in progress, Pattie. I pray this day continue to be a good one for you and that you and Willie will enjoy "room service" for your dinner. Can you add a massage, pedicure, and more? Ha.
We love you all.
He is Risen!
