April 23, 2009

Lynn did alright today...she was still in some pain, but having the chest tubes out helped her feel much better. She managed to get a walk or two in, but she got pretty tired. Yesterday, evidently, there was some concern because her heart rate was a bit too high, and she could not walk much. That appears to be under control now, but it meant another day in the hospital, so it looks like tomorrow will be the big day, instead of today, as we had hoped. She got a late visit yesterday from Christa and her boyfriend Justin, plus Gary and Sharon dropped by a couple of times too. They helped out with the kids this morning, then headed off to visit Todd.

Jo flew in this afternoon, and I dropped her off at the hospital. Lynn took her walk while I was there, then I went back to work. Later, I picked up Carlee from daycare, and then got Mac. We all went over to the hospital, and Lynn got to see the kids for the first time since the operation. We stuck around for a while, until Lynn's food came, and then the three of us and Jo went to dinner. It looks like a 90% chance that Lynn will go home tomorrow, according to her. I am still a bit concerned, since she is having trouble getting up from her bed, and thinks that she can't manage stairs. Hopefully, we find that those fears are unjustified, and everything will go well tomorrow. Blood tests are good, blood pressure is good, pulse is where it should be, and all the internal workings are working. All systems go!
