As I walked into Carolyn's room this afternoon, she held up her arms and said, "Look, no tubes!"
Indeed, they had removed her IV hydration tube, and her abdominal drainage tube. She can now walk all around without pulling her IV pole along with her. Not only that but she felt good enough, and free enough, to take a shower and shampoo her hair.
But the real stunning thing, as I looked at her hand and saw what was in it, was that she has been place on solid foods. In fact her tray resembled a typical lunch we might fix for our grandchildren.
Carolyn was eating slowly and with lots of breaks in between bites. Having not eaten good solid food for about 3 weeks, she said the hospital food was wonderful. Plans currently call for her discharge from the hospital shortly after noon, tomorrow, Friday, August 22, 2008. She welcomes you to come to our home for a short visit, or give her a call at 916-485-0150. If you're planning to come for a visit, please call ahead to make sure she's here and available for visiting.
Thanks for all your prayers and well wishes.
