Thursday

Good morning!

Hopefully there will be a date set today for surgery. Cindy is waiting to see the general surgeon yet, he is the one that will make the final decision. Her chart says "surgery when tolerated". She did eat 2 pieces of toast last night and it went well, no nausea which is the first time she has had something to eat since the big surgery without nausea. She probably had this pancreatitis since then and the drs just didn't pick it up. It took a good nurse to figure it out last weekend, a little frustration with all of this. She is trying to walk and get stronger and is quite determined to get better and get on with life.

The good news is that she is just doing so much better and so anxious to get home and going very stir crazy in the hospital. So if anyone is going to Sioux Falls and has a little extra time, she would love it if you would stop by and visit. I don't know of anyone going there today. Karleen and Kyle and kids are going up tomorrow and we are going to have a 4th of July family picnic at the hospital outside cafeteria at noon on Saturday.

Again, thank you for all your support!!!
