hello! It's been a pretty good day. Started off with dick reporting that nancy was pretty exhausted and sleepy most of the morning, after spending a couple hours sitting upright in the chair. Kind of what we expected from her yesterday, but everyone said this is going to be a roller coaster ride! Dr. K saw her this morning and said she was doing well. Tubes and cath were removed today-yay! Only thing she is still hooked up to is the insulin drip. Because your body stresses from surgery, typically your blood sugar will get pretty high. So, they give you insulin to help and it also promotes healing of her incisions. They'll take her off that tomorrow. Best news is that she is now out of the icu!!!! She is in a nice big regular room, although still on the cardiac floor. And, she is much more awake as of this afternoon and looking great! Keep it up nanny, you're doing great!!!!
Love,
robyn and linda
she's coming home!

hello!
Wanted to share the great news that nancy will be going home tomorrow!! We are all amazed, but not the least bit surprised, at how well she has taken on this whole surgery-and now the recovery stage.
She took a couple walks today, which totally wore her out. But she continues to rest and gain energy.
Dick will bring his patient home tomorrow morning and we're sure that skippy (her dog) will be ecstatic!
Thanks for your continued thoughts and prayers! It won't be easy, but we all know nancy will make it fun!!!!
Love,
linda and robyn
happy valentine's day!
