Spending the night in the hospital room with mom -- she's doing great. Getting regular visits from her nurse (she always gets the cute boys), taking a good nap right now, and should be getting woken up by her nurse Andrew (Andrew and Danielle nurses, Jen the physical therapist...we don't like new names in this family anyway...) for her steriods and other meds in about 15 minutes. Next round at 2:30. I'm hoping her nurse likes me enough to share some of that sleeping pill stock (NO, not really. I'm on guard duty!), because she's snoring, but I almost certainly will not be.
Some may have known, but I did not, that the hosptial is NOT a good place if what you want is a good night's sleep. But they are taking excellent care of her, and, true to form, she is recovering very quickly -- you wouldn't know she was day-two post-op if you looked at her. She's got great color, muscle control, motor function, she's up and walking around by herself (hell, if I had a penny for every time she's shooed me away from helping her around the room tonight, I'd be clear for Christmas shopping)...but I'm still following right behind her anyway. Don't tell her. :) She's being very strong in an unsure, scary and frustrating time. I'm so proud to be her daughter.
There has been talk of her being discharged tomorrow, but we're not quite sure yet; and, as Deborah mentioned, the tumor board meets tomorrow afternoon, so we'll have a better plan of action soon after that. We will keep everyone posted.

Yay for Alison! Yay for Dani! Not much is as long as a night in the hospital, thanks so much to our sweet Dani for taking the shift. Kisses (all highly hygienic) to Alison from the Aptos gang.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear it was a better night for all! We are so proud of Dani for being such a good night nurse for her mom (do I see a "career" in her future?) Love to all from Christa and Jon
