CSU Day 3 - 10:50 PM

Terrie is making steady improvement! She made 3 walks down the hallway today and 2 of them were all the way to the other end! Her room is at one end of the same hallway. She is eating more at each meal and is doing breathing exercises throughout the day. She is really sore where all her stitches are, mostly when she moves, but is basically getting along with no pain meds. Lord willing, we are past the vulnerable times for nausea. Everyone tells her that she is really doing well. It's looking more certain that we will take her home on Monday. The day nurse told me today that she will begin processing her dismissal paperwork tomorrow so that Monday will go more smoothly. Terrie's hemoglobin count was down this morning, so she received a unit of blood. I had not realized that the color had somewhat drained out of her face. When I got back from a few hours at home and running errands, she looked rosy-cheeked and very healthy! I even asked her if she had put on makeup! The nurse says that this unit of blood will stimulate Terrie's body to make more hemoglobin of its own. I have a work commitment at RHCC tomorrow that will take me away for several hours, but Terrie's sister, Deborah, will be here with her. She has really been a blessing to both of us the last 3 days. For all of you who have not been here in person, but have appeared before the Father in prayer for us, we cannot adequately express our thanks for your involvement! You are the greatest!
