Mom gets better every day. She is up and walking around the hallways. They are going to reduce her iv nutrition so that her appetite will increase. She is offered "real food" now, although she is only eating enough to sustain a skinny mouse.
The surgeon will remove her staples in a couple of days. It is ironic that the incision has been secondary to Mom's lung issues. She has been off oxygen for 24 hours and her chest x-ray today showed that her pneumonia is clearing up.
Her bilirubin level has "plummeted" (doctor's word), which is a tremendous praise. There is some concern about her jaundice, perhaps her gall bladder is having problems. We are asking the Lord to handle this one directly so Mom doesn't have to endure anything else!

Connie, I'm so glad to read that you are making good progress. Hopefully the doctors will determine the cause of your jaundice soon and no further treatment will be required. It's great that you're able to be up and around, and we hope your appetite will return soon so that you can eat normally again and regain your strength. Our love and prayers continue for your full and complete recovery. Love, Phyllis & Gene

Isn't he wonderful. I have been following this wonderful work of Angie's. Even though we can't talk directly and I don't want to come to Tulsa and tire you, I can keep in touch in this wonderful way. Love and Prayers from Bob and I
Dear Connie: Thinking of you this morning, and I wanted to pass on to you messages of love and best wishes from Joyce Brecheisen and Mary Helen.

Hope you'll be able to go home soon. Love you bunches, Phyllis & Gene
Hey, I am going to try for the 4th time to leave a comment. We'll see if if happens! I am sooo glad to hear about your progress. God is so good. All morning I have been reminded that God is a strong tower, a place we run to when we need help. Let Him be your strong tower today. Love, ginny
