Monday Update

Happy Monday. I'm sure it's a good thing that we don't have as much to report each day on the blog. We are past the daily drama of extubation, feeding tubes, balancing medication, and moving out of ICU and Mom has moved in to a more stable environment.

She had lots of visitors this weekend. Ari & Andrew, two of Geoff's best friends from Norman, came to see her Saturday, which she loved, because they made her laugh so much. She also had visits from more friends - Jillian, Sam, Tina, Jon, Sherry and their adorable son, Ben - in the last several days. It's great for her to have visitors in the evenings, since that's the time of the day that is boring for her. Therapies are usually over by 4:30, so the rest of the day can be long. Hopefully, she'll be able to use the phone on her own soon, and feel up for calls, so she can pass some time catching up with everyone. She is still loving the e-mails that are being sent to her personal account (sherylwow3@aol.com), so keep them coming!

Still no word from Dr. Coufal, her orthopedic surgeon, so we have no updates regarding her final surgery. We will be calling him again today, as we'll do everyday until we hear back from him.

Heather, Geoff & I carved pumpkins in Mom's room on Friday night, so she has them displayed on her window sill. They have cheery faces and are pretty cute little guys!

I'm heading back to Indianapolis on Wednesday for about 10 days. I am really missing home - Kuba, Star (our kitty), my friends, our house, our bed, my pillow, my pots & pans! It will be nice to be there for a while.

More updates later.

love,
jennifer
