Good morning,
Anne called me at 5:30am today and she sounded 100 percent better than last night. I was glad to get that call.
I got in here at 7:30am and Anne is resting very comfortably now. I'm relieved at how well she is today compared to how nervous and agitated she was last night. She is in good spirits and talkative once again. She isn't worried about the procedure that will happen today.
They have started some morphine this mornin, I think for her neck pain or else just so that she relaxes before the procedure, and she still gets the Oxycodone for the stomach pain. By the way, the Dr. removed the staples (20) in Annes stomach this morning, and he applied some of those steri-strips (10).
They will be tending to her neck dressing twice a day, treating it with wet (saline) and dry gause. This mornin the doctor checked the newly opened incision and told us it is looking good. It will heal from the inside out now.
It is now 10am and we continue to wait to know when Anne will be taken downstairs to Radiology. That is where Anne will go to have tubes installed (today) to drain the fluid from the lining around her lungs. Once that is done she'll be even more comfortable because her breathing will finally be good, and she'll be able to start walking laps again.
