Deb is awake and has eaten breakfast now. I think she did fine through the night. The nurse was in and out of the room several times to check in on her, but Deb never seemed to be in any large amount of pain. There's pain, don't get me wrong, but it is being managed and she's resting again while we wait for the surgeon to come see her and kick off the discharge process (we hope).
I'd like to take a moment to thank our friend Greg. He came over while I was still waiting in the outer area yesterday once he got off work and came up with me when they assigned Deb to her room. He stayed around talking with us for a while before heading back home. But our biggest thanks is for later this morning when he goes to pick up Deb's mom at the airport and either takes her to the house or brings her here to the hospital, depending on how far along the discharge process is at the time. There's no way I would have been able to break away to go get her. Also thanks go to Brie for being our backup plan had Greg not been available.
Friends are very important at times like these, so let me go ahead and say thanks as well to everyone who has sent encouragement through comments here or Facebook or by text, even if I haven't been able to respond directly to everyone. Be assured that I am passing all that along to Deb during her waking moments.

SO glad to get this encouraging update!! Sounds like our Deb is well on her way to that magically discharge moment. Uncle Bud and I have never stopped praying - and we won't! We just wish we lived closer!! Love and hugs to both of you!
ReplyDeleteGeorge, So glad to hear that the surgery went well and that Deb is getting her rest. Please let her know we already miss her wonderful smile and we wish her a beautiful recovery. It's comforting to hear you have wonderfully supportive friends, they make all the difference. Warm Blessings, Jan
