Dear family and friends,
If Lynn continues to make the progress she did today, my tenure as a blogger is going to be very short lived!
The day started off kind of bad as she continued to experience intense pain and did not sleep well. Her pain and lack of sleep lead to a very anxious and unhappy girl. The team at Froedtert would not quit. They removed her chest tube and went from the epidural to more traditional pain treatment. The medication began to work and as the pain diminished; her overall condition began to improve. She was moved from ICU to her own room. She was up in a chair for hours, began to eat (actually claiming to be hungry) and even though Lynn as teased me for exaggerating, she actually took a walk down the hall with her nurses. It was a joy to watch the day progress!
Needless to say, she was exhausted but really in a much better state of mind. We chatted quite a bit and she is content with where she is at. She was resting very comfortably and hopefully will sleep the night away. The staff has told us each day gets better so we are looking forward to brighter days. The road will have its bumps, but the Good Lord has been keeping His eye on Lynn.
Again, thank you all for the love and support you all have given to our family. We will hold this in our hearts always. HOWEVER, as much as we love you all, please no visitors. Lynn needs to heal and rest.
Love to all,
Tim

WOW!! THAT is AWESOME!! I love hearing the good news that Lynn is doing so well so shortly after her surgery!
ReplyDeleteLynn used to CHEER the teams on back at Franklin High School. I'm so glad to be one-of-the-many people cheering for HER now while leading this F-I-G-H-T!! Goooooo Lynnie!!!!
This is great news of big progress. Strength gains and pain management will keep morale high, and strengthen her for the fight. Love that hospital food! Cross your fingers that you are there on meatloaf night! Continuing to offer prayers and hoping for more and more healing and strength in the coming weeks.
