Hello to everyone this morning! We can not tell you all enough for the many prayers and support we receive!! We love everyone so much!
Last night - Mom did not get into an ICU room until 1 am. Wow, I know ICU was completely full...Dad stayed with her all night while the rest of us went back to the hotel around 10pm. They said she responded well after surgery and Dr. Rao continuously checked on her. All of her nurses have been so incredibly awesome and so fun!
This morning - Dad called around 8 am and told us visiting hours were over from 6-8am so they could take care of her. Dr. Rao was there to look at her incision and make sure everything was healing properly. Dad came to the waiting area and Dr. Rao talked to him there. He did say she wasn't responding as well as he'd like but it's very normal after surgery. She was very lathargic acting and wouldn't talk much so he figured she still had some swelling and fluid. He ordered a CT at noon and we are waiting for the results.
Later this morning/early afternoon - Once the daughters got in the room, mom opened her eyes and started smiling and talking to us. Dad told us the first thing she asked for this morning were "her girls"!! how awesome! We miss our mom too! It's so good to see her awake and cutting jokes of course! oh yes, she was! Dad took a break before the CT was performed and Dr. Rao had come back - yes, for a 3rd time already today - (he rocks! and cares so much) to check on mom. He asked her some questions and she responded quickly! Great!
We will have more visitors soon!! yay! - Breck (brooke's husband) and Ryan (hillary's fiance)! They will be here around 8 pm so pray for their safe journey!
We will post again later when we get the results from the CT! Keep sending up the prayers!
We love you all!
Happy early Valentine's Day! **SEE NEW LINK added to the right side of the page called "The Joy Movie". It's so inspirational and motivating! thank you audra for sending it to us. we loved the sayings, pictures, and music while we're sitting here in the waiting area.

ReplyDeleteThis is all sounds so good! Our prayers are with you throughout the day. Tell Miss Charlene and Mr. Virgil the kitties are being well taken care of. I dropped JD at the house at 5:13 yesterday to pick up the food bowl. He informed me it was not time. You don't pick up the bowl until 6:00.
