Mom Update

Here's the latest on my Mom:

Since her surgery on Friday, the doctors are very pleased with my Mom's progress. On Saturday, she was up walking four times. Sunday, she was on a liquid clear diet with green Jell-O for breakfast, red for lunch and orange for dinner. Today she is on soft foods. She went walking six times on Sunday and learned that it hurts to laugh.

The care she is getting is superb. The nurses are readily available to care for her. As complications develop, they know how to deal with it, with confidence. Her surgeon was in this morning and was most pleased with her progress. An oncologist will be in today to discuss the next steps for radiation and chemotherapy, which will be done in Michigan. There has been no discussion about when she will be released from the hospital.

The hospital has wireless Internet service, so she is able to read our Blogs and receive e-mails. Last night she was able to see the pictures of her grandkids posted on their Blogs in their Halloween costumes! If you wish to send her an e-mail, this is her address lynnkurt@comcast.net
