February 19, 2009

Thanks very much for your prayers and thoughtfulness and to those who have been able to come visit. Sandy appreciates this more than you can know. I have printed out the notes you've sent and will share them with Sandy tomorrow.

Sandy's throat is still a little sore from the airway used by the anesthesiologist yesterday, but can now take ice chips to mitigate the dryness. Her spirits are, as always, upbeat. She had one tube removed today and is glad of it, has compared herself with one of our computers with wires protruding everywhere. The morphine drip runs constantly for now, and she hasn't hit the button (to emit a higher dose) nearly as often today as yesterday. With assistance, she rolled out of bed and into a rocking chair for a couple hours while she and I watched "Analyze This" on DVD. She dozed off and on and finally went to sleep for the night around 7:30.

Again, Sandy's in the OB/GYN unit, room 101. The staff there has been the best I've seen in some years, which we think is where some of your prayer efforts have gone.
