We're all up in Katy's room, she is peppy and looking great! Aside from a little band-aid on her neck and a little hoarseness to her voice she's already good as new. She is up on the transplant floor because they are short on general surgery rooms and the nurses are incredibly competent! The room is huge and has a nice view to the South, there are some nice details that make it feel soft and light. They even have room service! Right now Mike, Karen, Bob, Laurie, Gram and I are all chatting and laughing with Katy, who's talking as much as anyone else. Tomorrow morning if her Ca++ levels are normal she can go home, but we'll still ask for short visits while she's healing. She will need a lot of sleep, and probably to rest her voice for a while.
Thanks for all the love!

ReplyDeleteHurray Katy! I'm so glad you are feeling so well so quickly! You all are amazingly strong, and I'm sending you all good energy and you are in my thoughts! Can't wait for the next update!
ReplyDeleteAs always you are all in our thoughts and prayers. Katy, glad you have this step behind you. Amy, thanks for the great job you are doing keeping everyone up to date. Karen and Bob, I can see your smiling faces, even when you're not sure there is anything to be smiling about. Mike, love you. Many years ago I worked at CU Denver. Not even the same location it's in now. I was young, fearless, and full of energy, much like Amy, but now I'm old and tired, and can't believe I had the courage to do much of what I did. It was a great ride! You're in great hands. Sally
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear you are doing well! Praying for a quick recovery. Sending lots of love! Allana, John, & Ava
