Belated update--and photos

A quick update: Mom is out of ICU--she got a room late yesterday afternoon. She is sleeping a lot and resting up so that she can go home as soon as possible. She's had a bit of a headache--go figure--but is healing well. The doctor thinks she could go home as early as tomorrow, but it may not be until Monday.


This afternoon we watched the NFL draft and saw Ziggy Hood--the cousin of Mom's nurse Stacy--get drafted by the Steelers--kinda cool.


We appreciate all of your continued thoughts, prayers, and support. And thank you Stephanie and Laura S. for the delicious dinners the past couple of nights.


Here are some of the photos that were taken on Wednesday and earlier this week. Unfortunately (or maybe it's a good thing), many of the pictures came out very blurry, so these are the best of the bunch.






Dr. Weinberg and his team after the surgery.




The finished puzzle! (Hopefully someone else got a shot that is less blurry.)








Completing the puzzle was a team effort.

  1. Awesome job with the pics, SK. You're doing an amazing job with the blog (and everything else) and we all sure appreciate it. It was fantastic to meet you and I now know first hand why your Mom is so very proud of you.
    Take care and I'm sending chicken empanandas as soon as I get back from Philly.

  2. It is fortunate that none of these photos are of me! I promise that it would scare you all. However, I have been advised to sleep sitting 3/4 propped up to reduce swelling so I'm trying that. Keep your fingers crossed that it works!
