Post op day #4

Today started out for Shelley sort of on the "draggy" side, but as the day wore on, she really perked up.  She had lots of company and was able to enjoy that quite a bit.  Now this evening she is really tired, and definitely ready for a good night's sleep.  Today she ate more than ever before--soup, potatoes, fish, and such. It still isn't all that thrilling for her to eat, but she's doing a good job of it, especially with Jim's urging.  They took some walks and sat out in the breezeway.

Tomorrow will be an eventful day because the nasal packing and the hated nasogastric tube will be removed.  That's a big and definite step toward recovery and going home.  The doctors haven't made any definite proclamations about what day she might be leaving. Jim is going to make a quick trip back to Kearney tomorrow.  Seems his employees want to be paid, and stuff like that. 

Good night, and we'll talk again tomorrow night!

Our beloved Shelley looks amazing folks ... and we had the best visit, and we likely wore her out terribly. It does a person's heart such good to see her ( and Jim ).
