Saturday Update
Hi, everyone, and thanks for the emails and blog comments. I've printed them all off and brought them to Jeanette at the hospital.
To update everyone, she's healing up pretty well, the only problem has been a reaction to the painkillers that gives her nausea--she's had trouble keeping food down. As a result, they've switched her meds and cut back on the painkillers; we'll see how that goes. They've already had her up and putting her full weight on the hip, although it's just been to walk around the bed to a chair. Her voice has returned (and her sarcasm!) and once she can keep food down she'll be stronger and more cheerful. (Hospital food being the fancy cuisine that it is.) :)
We don't have a go-home date at this point but they're looking at Monday at the earliest. Jeanette is anxious to be mobile again--the recovery isn't fast enough, naturally--and she'd like to be home. As soon as we know when that'll be, I'll post it here.
A big thanks go out to all of your for your kindness, whether it be the flowers at the hospital, the meals prepared for us, the messages and phone calls, the prayers/ happy thoughts/ white light/ positive vibes/ good karma, whatever you want to call it... it matters and we all appreciate it.
Michigan vs OSU today at 1... go blue!
