This is the first time in 4 days that Heather has smiled and talked. Her pain and nauseau are being managed and she finally got some much needed sleep. She had an IV in each arm, but because of meds they were pushing, the IVs kept failing so they had to insert a Midline which will make this process so much more comfortable.
If Heather can avoid surgery, they are hopeful she can be released in 3 days. Speaking of surgeries, Heather has had three surgeries since September - one to repair a broken clavicle, another to remove the hardware from the broken clavicle that was starting to interfere with range of motion, and a third for a hernia. She was a champion for each of these, but she really doesn't need to go for the gold medal for surgeries - she is fine with the silver!
Oh, I forgot to add that she has started doing laps around the unit. She did 3 yesterday which thrilled her doctor. She gets overheated and nauseous, but being upright and mobile only helps - so YAY!!!!!
Thank you to everyone that has reached out and those praying for Heather. It means the world to both of us.
I can't wait to bring Heather home and spend some time with her on the lake. Let's not forget we still have to celebrate her birthday. This birthday picture of Heather was taken in 2022. I just love my sweet Heather.
