Looking forward to going home

Cathy is hoping to be discharged from hospital on Sunday or Monday (probably Monday). Finally got some solid foods yesterday- who knew one could look forward to hospital food so much? Everyone is working to get things comfortable at home for CC. She is looking forward to trying out the new Lazy-Boy recliner selected by Scott! Hoping the Lazy-Boy will look good with her art and high end sofa....

Better Today

Catherine was in good spirits today, even sharing a few laughs. She looked great and is responding well to the anti-nausea medication. Her doctors are being very cautious with her bowels and as a result she has not had any solid food since her operation. Food is a big topic of conversation! She is much more alert and had plans to watch Larry King and read Vanity Fair tonight.

Catherine will be in the hospital at least through the weekend as we wait for her digestive system to get back in order.

Hanging in there

Catherine says she found today hard with too many tests and poking and prodding. Swelling in legs from all the IV fluids, trying to achieve a good fluid balance is difficult. Sounding strong but discouraged.

A little progress each day

Had a shower on her own today and Rhonda reported CC looked more herself with her big hoop earrings and make up on! Focus is on the day to day healing at the moment. No news on next steps in the treatment plan.

Day 2

Recovery from surgery is progressing. Cathy was happy to have some fluids today and is looking forward to solid food.
