Day 12

 Sorry for the gap in the updates. It has been 12 days since the operation and all is progressing well. The days are up and down as expected.

Over the weekend the team was finally able to manage nausea and vomiting. Hopefully, that will remain under control as we are moving from tube feeds to solid food. The calorie count is a very important component of recovery and a check box to leave the hospital.

There are still four tubes for drainage. They are all working well and producing, thus they will be with her for a couple more days. These tubes are a major source of pain and until they are removed, pain management is an issue.

Lung function is great. Laura is walking half a mile a day without any supplemental oxygen. 3/4 of a mile is on the agenda for tomorrow! Just grinding it out.

Thank you all for the notes of support.

Cheers,
