Post Surgery

So technology is great when it works! Sorry folks, blogger, which I do this off of has been down since yesterday afternoon. Update on mom. She is doing terrific! She was out of recovery and to her own room yesterday afternoon around 2:00. I knew she was alright when they were talking about her "clear liquid" diet yesterday and she asked if that included light beer! Yesterday was all about her one and only kidney realizing it is her one and only now. It has recognized that as of this morning and all systems are go!

Last night she was a little tired but not too tired for Greys Anatomy! We had a good time watching that. Too bad McDreamy is not at NWTH!

This morning the doctor touch base with her bright and early and is pleased with everything. Rachel has been staying with her the majority of the time and the boys and I treked up to go see her at lunch time today. She is officially "cord" free, no iv's or anything, just those lovely leg things that keep your blood circulating. She has been up and around and will be taking afternoon jaunts down the hallways.

It looks like she will either go home tomorrow or Sunday. She will have to take it easy for 2-3 weeks with no driving. The sudden movements are what we need to watch. As the doctor stated last night, now all we have to worry about are the lungs! As I mentioned before she will start the pill treatment in two weeks, which will give her enough time to recover from this.

Thanks for all of your continued prayers!
