FOURTH DAY POST SURGERY UPDATE - JULY 16TH @
Happy Monday all!
Brenda flew home yesterday and arrived safe and sound. I spoke with Laurie's cousin Beth & Mom yesterday. She was moved into a semi private room and she now has a phone. Laurie's been getting up regularly and walking around her unit, slightly tired but starting to recover nicely. Because nothing goes smoothly, she has a room-mate thats having constant visitors and phone calls in the middle of the night which after 24 hours caused her to go completely BALLISTIC on them. The nurse manager finally had to come in and get the visitors under control.
I'm on the phone with her right now, its the first time I've talked to her since the night of the surgery. She sounds GREAT, her voice is almost completely back to normal. She says hi to all and that shes feeling alot better in comparison to the two previous surgeries. FYI that it ended up being a double-valve repair, repairing the tricuspid and replacing the mitral. She says hi to all and thanks for the continuing well wishes.
Unit I post again,
