Let me first start by saying sorry for not posting earlier. Today has been a good day filled lots of great news!
Our nurses yesterday and last night were "Johnny Oakley" and "Shake it Up Cherryl." Just so you know we have nick-named all of our nurses based on something about them. Both of them are from the Philippines.
They got right to work helping Wendi shed IVs and equipment from her room. This sure helped Wendi to feel more "NORMAL" as the healing process continued. As the day progressed Wendi made some good strides with a physical therapist who came in.
The kids and her mom and dad visited in the afternoon. It was sweet to watch Gillian loving her mom. Garson and Aidan were too, but Gilli got some much needed reassurance.
I left for dinner and returned around 8:00 pm. It was like Wendi was a different person. She had color in her face and just seemed more confident.
We slept apart last night with me in a nearby room on the hospital grounds. When I returned this morning I saw Cherryl had removed Wendi's central line (IV line in her artery) from her neck. There was additional stuff gone and all that remained were the chest tubes.
Dr. Nasirov came in around 10:00 am and removed those as well. He said Wendi was recovering well and could possibly go home tomorrow. Can you believe it...Tomorrow! He encouraged Wendi to get moving so she has taken several walks around the ICU loop. During the last walk she was completely unassisted. Is God good or what!
Our nurse today is Farmer Shawna; she has lots of animals at her house. She has given us space to rest and even let me get Wendi a Starbucks. All in all things are well! We give thanks to God for healing and especially for His faithfulness.
We know He hears your prayers as you intercede for Wendi. We can't thank you enough. Although we know the road to full recovery is long, our faith in the One who created us strong! Thanks again to all of you. Please continue to lift our family, and especially Wendi in prayer; it is working! Love to all!!!!
