6/18 Good News!

It's fun posting the GOOD news!

The chest tube is out and already much less pain! They did another x-ray this morning and it looked better so the tube got pulled. Now, it will be easier for her to walk by herself. It just wasn't possible before with the tube and container holding the fluid and all the other stuff she's hooked up to. Marv (her dad) is with her this morning. She is still quite nauseated and quite often is in the mornings, so they gave her something for that. Not sure what is causing it, but probably yet from the surgery and not getting much pain meds through the night anymore. She and the Drs are trying to wean her down from some of the pain meds.

Her youngest sister is going to surprise her today and show up at the hospital with her new baby! She will be spending the day with her again tomorrow. She's coming down from Fargo, ND and going to stay here for a week. We are going to have a baby shower on Saturday morning and one of Cindy's nurses was able to get a room in the hospital for us to have it in so Cindy won't have to miss it! That was another reason yesterday for happy tears! Then more tears because she didn't have a present, but Karleen took care of that!! So, the next fews days should be happy days for Cindy!

God is good!!

Cindy,
We rejoice with you that your chest tube has been removed! Good to hear that you are doing better each day! What an answer to prayers! Hopefully everything keeps going well for you. I hope to be there quite often in the next day or two or three! They are inducing Kristina tomorrow, so my granddaughter will be in the same hospital as you! I am anxious to meet her!!:) I am also glad that it gives me opportunity to see you as well. Praying for continued healing...
Love,
Joyce

Yeah Cindy,

It is nice to see good things happen when it seems that nothing but bad keep surrounding you! I am sure the presence of a baby will boost your spirits. Babies are such a true miracle, and a great reminder of the Glory of God!
