Settled in to room 527

Now begin the adventures in room 527. Judy made excellent progress today. At 1:00 she made the transition out of I.C.U., which is excellent!
She had two small complications that were quickly remedied. The motion of the transition made her nauseous, but a dose of nausea medication called Phenergen eased that nuisance. Later on in the day her oxygen intake got a little bit low, so they put her on 2L of O2. Her O2 and pulse rates have returned to normal and she is stable. More great news is that she took a step in physical therapy this evening. The therapist had her sit upright in a chair for thirty minutes! She did a great job. She also had many loving visitors this afternoon, all of which I have not been able to add to the list to the left because I have not yet figured out how to manage that function! Debbie, Toni, Wes, Father Jim, Cheryl and Fred Weber, Emily, Becky and Phillip all came to give their love to Judy today. She was so thankful for all of her visitors, but, in typical Judy fashion, she worries about anyone wanting to help take care of her because she doesn't want anyone to be bothered! Hopefully we can continue to show her that it's okay to be in the spotlight of love when she has "S" for Superwoman on her belly!
I could tell when I arrived this evening that she was tired from all the excitement of the day, so I gave her strict orders to SLEEP! So we're having a nice quiet evening. She is still groggy and loopy from the morphine, but she is as sharp as ever. She asked for lotion on her legs just now and told me exactly where her "Honeysuckle" scented lotion would be in her back pack. She's all there, just sleepy! Her voice is week too, a result of the ventilator tube from surgery. It's notieceabley stronger though since yesterday. Our strong woman is trudging along.
Thank you to all of for your love and support.
