Kathy Update - 2

Kathy has gotten better to the point that she has started to complain about all of the tubes and wires that are attached to her. They have removed most of the tubes but the tube through her nose into her stomach really bothers her and they say at least another day. Monday she didn’t sleep as much during the day and her color is looking better. They had her walk around the bed in the morning and she was so tired she slept for an hour after her walk. They had her walk around the bed in the afternoon and she was tired but didn’t need to take a nap.

I think Monday was a harder day for Kathy because she was awake for most of it and just couldn’t get comfortable. She says she only has pain when the incision is touched or when trying to move.

The doctor continues to say that she will be in the hospital for “about a week” but, never says exactly how long she will be in the hospital.

  6. It is a shame Mom is allergic to so many flowers or I'd get 1-800-Flowers to deliver some to her room!
