Nice quiet Saturday, Noonish, New Years Eve

Hi there friends,

Last evening Anne took 2 Ativan for nausea around 7pm, and that was a good time for me to head home.  I knew it would put her near dreamland. 

Around noon yesterday I had given away my ticket to the Celtics opening game last night, so I went home and watched it on TV.  Funny how things work out since they don't have comcast sports net/boston on the TV here in the hospital.

I didn't worry last night, and when I called this morning the nurse said Anne had a great nite of rest, and she was sleeping.  She had spent time in a recliner with help before I got here.  I got in at 11:30 today (feels like a day off)  and she was back in bed.  Her brother Bobby was here.  He's been sneaking in for quick visits lately.

The nurse, Ty, asked Anne if she was hungry and she said yes.  It's the first time she's wanted to hear the words 'food' or 'drink' for 7 days.  Ty read the lunch menu to her, first entrees, then vegs, then drinks.  Anne very slowly answered each time with her preferences.   She had a small amount of broccoli, and baked potato.  I don't think she liked the gravy on the pot roast.  She lit up when I broke out a small piece of the edge of a coffee roll I picked up for her at DD this mornin.  She ate that too, drank her small lemonade, and said 'that's enough'.

I totally figured that since she actually enjoyed the food, that her stomach would make her 'pay the price'.  I'm wrong so far (knock on wood).  She is snoring right now, sleeping good.  She was in and out before lunch, but in dreamland now.  If she tolerates that food I'd classify it as a miracle.

Dr. Evans came in and is happy with what he sees.  He said the swelling in her legs and feet will take at least a couple of weeks to go away.  He said they cancelled the CT-Scan yesterday, 1.) because her test results have improved so much, and 2.) because they're no longer highly concerned about the clot.  He said they fully expect the drugs to clear that up.  I thought it was a dreadful sounding thing, and he calmed me down.

I want you all to know that our prayers are being answered.  Thank you so much for those.  There's hardly anthing else anyone can do, therefore  nothing as important.  Thanks again everybody, and a Safe and Happy New Year to you.
