Recovery Day #2, 5:30 pm

Nicole has been doing VERY well today. Her NG tube just all of a sudden started working again, so they shouldn't have to do anything to it. Yesterday at this time Nicole said her pain level was an 8 out of 10, and a few minutes ago she told the nurse it was only at a 3. She has been sleeping alot again, but she did wake up for a while and even got out of bed. She moved from the bed to a chair without much help and she was able to get a bath and get her hair washed while they changed her bedding, etc. Her blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen levels have been so good that they no longer have her hooked up to the meters that read them constantly (they just check them once an hour now). Her temperature is also back down to a 98.4. The nurse is very happy with Nicole's progress and said she thinks Nicole will be ready for a walk around the halls by tonight or tomm. morning.

Nicole and James, I have been keeping up with your situation with great interest and empathy, and will continue to do so. I cannot say that what I went through compares to what Nicole has been through, but I definitely have a good understanding of how she has felt at times. God bless both of you and all who are supporting & praying for you guys!

Wonderful news! It's great that the first couple days are behind her and that she has such loving support there with her.

Tell her we think she is very brave, to stay strong and that she is in our thoughts and prayers.
