The Latest...

Today is a beautiful day in Seattle! Glorious weather.

Mom is doing better and is making progress today.
She is looking very strong when she walks and gets up. Her color is good and she has been all over the floor.

The doctors came in this morning and made a few changes, left some things status quo.
The epidural pain meds are still in place and seem to be a good buffer, to keep the abdominal pain at bay.
There are plans for a couple of units of blood. Seems like there is a post-surgical anemia problem.
As far as eating goes, Mom has graduated to a clear liquid diet and they will see how all that sits.
Maybe some soft foods tomorrow, who knows?

The hospital floor that we are on is pretty busy. Lots of coming and going.
Mom is, of course, making lots of friends and everyone loves her. She is very open with everyone and prays for them.
I am really hoping that she is getting back to normal very soon!
