Alive and Doing Well After Surgery

Tammy was only in the recovery room for 2 hrs - much better than the about 6 hrs wait we had last time. In the recovery room, Tammy was much much more alert than last time.

Nausea has paid a visit again and we hope the visit is a brief one this time. (we are going to hold off on oral medications today because it just aint been working out).

Tammy is pissed about one thing - The nurse in the recovery room failed to properly set up her PCA Machine and when she arrived in her new room (811) she was in severe pain. I asked the nurse twice if it was hooked up and she said it was - Luckily we have a more observant and attentive nurse tonight.

Tammy is doing well and in relatively good spirits! (especially now that her pain medicine machine is hooked up properly) Tammy says "This Block is Great! Can I have another tomorrow? LOL"

Good to hear everything went well. The kids are doing fine. We are about ready to eat dinner with our friend Val from Madison WI. Take care and many hugs and kisses from Benny and Destiny.

I Love & Miss My Babies! I printed off some recent pictures of them to hang in my hospital room & I even brought a stuffed ducky from Benny's bed, Destiny's cabbage patch kid doll, One of Benny's Dinosaurs and Destiny's hooded blanket with me. I wanted to have a piece of them with me. I Love you Benny and Destiny - Mommy has to stay in the hospital for a few days, but I'll be home soon!

So glad to hear that the surgery went well, and that recovery so far is less awful than last time. Hope the nausea passes soon, and that the pain meds continue to do their job!

Thanks for the call Dustin. We are so happy that it went well. Hopefully the nausea will pass quickly. I'll call tomorrow sometime and see if Tammy is up to talking.

We had a nice night sleep. Had Kashi cereal with bananas blueberries for breakfast. Destiny went right to sleep w/out any fuss. Benny has been busy making cards for his favorite people. Guess who?
Destiny also has been busy with card making and pretending she is a dog laying in Ching-Chings bed! We are watching Barney and folding clothes.
