Sandy felt sick overnight and called me early this morning to be with her. I got there about 6:30am. She was given meds for restless legs and for pain and eventually felt better, was able to rest. She had oatmeal for breakfast, but not much so I kept on her to drink more fluids and to do the inhaling thing with the tube and the 3 balls to avoid pneumonia. She had a few visitors in the early afternoon who didn't stay long, knowing she needed rest. They were a friend from out of state whom she used to work with, Brooke Mitchell and friend Steve. Also Sandy's boss and his wife, followed closely by our good friend Ruth Thornton. She got a phone call from her uncle Bernie's son Kenny and was really glad to hear from him. We also got a call from friend Mike Mottram and wife Max, letting her know they're wishing the best for her recovery. I left her at 6:15 or so tonight and she was in good spirits. Earlier, she'd walked in the hall a while for the exercise and to look at new babies and I think this helped.

The nursing staff has been top notch all the way. Very kind and capable people. We appreciate you keeping her in mind through this ordeal. We know it's helpful to her. We believe she'll be coming home tomorrow sometime, but this has yet to be determined.
