Everyone,
The good continues to outweigh the bad (kind of because this overall is not fun). Lynn has almost all off her “tubes” removed and she pooped! I know I’m going to be in big trouble for that, but anyone who has been in the hospital understands how important that is! She is up and even did some stairs today. PT and pulmonary therapy continue to work with her. She is making huge strides. Again, overall a good day.
She still has pain and it rips my heart out to see her in such pain. She is so petite and her blood pressure is low to begin with that she is limited in the amount of pain medication she can receive. She really has not had “a good night’s sleep”. The staff continues to work and the pain level is better, but still an issue. Lynn gets an automatic pass to heaven because she is in purgatory right now. She also had a heart issue today. Because of the changes in her anatomy, the heart has to become accustomed to the new setup and there are some arrhythmia issues, but they caught it immediately and addressed the problem with medication. It appears to be an issue that is controllable as her body becomes adjusted to the new gig. Three steps forward, one step back.
We wish we could chat with everyone every night to personally thank you for all you have done and given to us, but time doesn’t allow. Also, we don’t mean to send the wrong message by asking you to not visit, but she is exhausted (and I want her all to myself).
Thank you for the continued love and support. We feel it every minute!
Our love to all,
Lynn and Tim

Hi Lynn -
ReplyDeleteIt's great to hear that your surgery was as successful as it could be. This cheerleader is cheering for YOU!
Blessings to you and yours,
Lynn
Hang in there. Don't get discouraged. This is going to take a little time. It is hard to be patient when you are in pain, and it does seem worse a couple days after surgery. You are in my prayers as your body adjusts and your spirit struggles. You will prevail, I have no doubt. Marcia
ReplyDeleteI know you will continue to improve every day and the pain will subside. I continue to pray every day for you and you always in my thoughts.
