Nancy had a good night and was sitting up this morning with a renewed appetite, absent the persistent nausea of the last week. We just did a full lap of the floor.
The plan for the day was that I'd come in earlier than usual in order to see the doctor at 7:00 am, but we failed to account for the good weather and probable tee time... he was here and gone by 5:30. He was very positive about Nancy's recovery and growing maneuverability. Word around the campfire is that she could be paroled...er, discharged early next week. Perhaps very early.
At that point, we'll go back to the hotel which adjoins the hospital until all of her follow-up appointments are completed and she feels well enough to travel - if that turns out to be earlier than the date on the tickets, I'll glad to pay a penalty for early withdrawal, as it were.
She'll advance to solid food today, and tonight she should be totally disconnected from the intravenous feed bag and saline drip.
She has progressed greatly while Deborah has been here - coincidence? I think not.
Dave and Nancy,not only do we keep coming gratefully back to read your posts in checking the status of your (amazing) progress, but to also get a chuckle from the family blogs. Thanks Dave and Deborah for the funny photos and forays into the lives of ginger ale folk. I'd never thought of my buying soda as being of any interest to someone in Iowa. Nancy,you are my hero. I think of you and send my love daily. Big giant hugs, DD
ReplyDeleteA hug from us to all, thank goodness the progress is steady! I am so glad Deborah is there too! xoxoox Peg and Dave
ReplyDeleteHi to Deborah. Nancy, what a great support staff you have! Such good news about the possible eary release. Right now that plane ride probably seems like it will be a pain in the back (pun intented). But to know that you are healing as fast or faster than expected has got to make you all feel great (except you Nancy, who is somewhere in the middle of the feeling like shit scale). But such good news! Will Dave be as good of a nurse at home.
ReplyDeleteGlad to get caught up on your blog today. Whoopee!
ReplyDeleteIts will be easier day by day. thinking about and love you bunches. Love, Betty and Hollis and Diane (your international fan club!)
