Hi Everyone
Tami sent me an e-mail so I thought I would share some of her thoughts. She said she felt better today because the epidural was helping with the pain so she didn't get nauseated. She took a walk with the nurse but her legs almost buckled because of the epidural. She said, "I'm learning the meaning of slowing down to a grateful pace" and she was thankful that her diet changed from clear liquid to at least tomato soup and ice cream. She said those small and simple thing help me.....such as a walk, soup and ice cream.
Dr. Blute and Dr. Lambert both stopped by and told her again that her surgery was successful and Tami said, "I'm Thankful to be alive." Dr. Lambert said she could still run and swim...(and I think that is a optimistic vision in Tami's mind to fight to the finish)......
She was able to set up for a couple of hours today and also paint with her pencils...she was very thankful she had those there and was also thankful for the nurse from the 6th floor who also gave her some supplies.
Tim is flying out on Monday at 6:00 AM to be with Tami.......We're all thankful for that. She said she had an appointment with Dr. Blute on the 29th of November and she was hoping they might be able to remove attached tubing if all goes well......that would be a wonderful little miracle.
Tami called Mom tonight and that gave mom much comfort. Mom has fasted and sung hymns to feel the peace of the Lord, and hearing Tami's voice tonight lifted her spirits. There's nothing like the love of a mother. That is also why Tami would rather Tim be home with the girls. Tami's hopes are up and I told her I hope she can feel our love and prayers and hope streaming through the airways and across the miles that she may feel of our support and love.
A few of you have asked for Tami's address. I know Tim will be at the Hope Lodge on Monday so you could send your cards there.
