Hi Everyone.....
A pretty great day.....except Tami wanted to get rid of a couple of attachment hoses, but alas....Dr. Lambert said....Tami the catheter needs to be there to help your bladder heal, and the drain tube lets us know if the bladder is still leaking. So we go forth until a week from tomorrow still attached.
Oh well, Tami is positive still and not overstressed.....she's just handling it with a smiling face and determination.

We were gone from the Hope Lodge from 12:00 noon until about 5:30....Tami rested for a short while and was up again,,,,,she's resting and watching the news, which to me is a great sign because when she is nauseated, she just lays down. She has not been nauseated most of the day which tells me her day has been the best since I got here.
Dr. Lambert is pleased with her improvements and just wants her to continue doing the same....Numbers were good as far as medical terms....White count (6) Normal blood pressure, blood counts, temperature, etc. All pretty normal and weight about the same. Dr. Lambert just wants her to get some weight on and start thriving and feeling well.
Dinner tonight was provided by a local restarant....Barbecue ribs off the bone, salads, watermelon, bread.....Tami doesn't like barbecue, bread, watermelon or salads....she had mashed potatoes and corn and chicken...and a little taste of salads (sounds like her huh?)....I really enjoyed the other food.
We're headed up now for nightly cold cereal and whatever sounds good to Tami at the time.
A beautiful day in Worcester, heartfelt visits with those suffereing here and Debra the manager, good visits with those at home and 3 wonderful letters from loved ones. We also want to wish our little brother a safe and uneventful colonoscopy. As a joke he asked Tami to pray for him....(thinking that would bring a smile to her face since she has been through so much and now our little brother is faced with a scary routine exam.)
...but that's life, huh.....its scary for any of us to go to the Dr. So be thankful tonight that you are healthy 
and sleeping in your own beds.

Hey Tami and Judy! We've been following your blog since we got home, and we're glad that you're continuing to improve. It's a long haul, isn't it? We continue to pray for you and for your sweet family. We hope you can be reunited very soon. Hang in there Tami! Love you!
ReplyDeleteNatalie, We also have thought of you two often and we wonders how Nate is doing....she is still amazed that someone right around the corner had some inkling as to what she is going through. Tami is trying to be brave and be the best she can.....Nate was a good one to follow and our hopes and prayers are with you also
