Cathi update!

Cathi is running a fever, but so far no sign of a problem where they did the surgery. She said they put about 100 staples in and they have been keeping a check on the area and so far things are looking normal for this type of surgery. They are concerned because of the fever. I told her about Jo-Anns power prayer and how I was sure after all those prayers, things would improve a lot. She was so touched by that. I have no idea how she does it, but she is dealing with this so much better than I ever could. It was nice to be able to tell her about all the well wishers. I was not able to get an answer until last night. She told me not to worry if anything was really wrong her daugher was going to call. Its still ever so nice to talk to her and know for sure all is going as well as can be expected. Love and Hugs Joyce

Thanks again for the update, Joyce. It sounds as though Cathi has her usual positive attitude. I can't imagine what 100 staples would be like. My grandson had about 20 when he had the osteochondroma removed from his leg and it looked like a long incision. I am sure everyone will be thinking of Cathi during power prayer Sunday tomorrow and it will give her some comfort to know she is so loved. Hugs, MK

Thanks for the update, Joyce, and for being our contact person with Cathi. Hope she has better days soon. Hugs and prayers, Lauri

It would seem everyone started their prayers early. Cathi is doing better and wants to come home. I called to have coffee with her this morning and she said she was able to wash her hair and she wanted to see the doctor and come home now! LOL It sure sounded good to my ears. I told her to relax and enjoy being waited on. Sometimes you feel great when you are in the hospital and you come home and just do not feel like getting something for yourself so you do without. She reminded me how I complain when I am in the hospital so I shut up. LOL Now I can pray for continued good luck with this new bone. Thanks everyone for asking. L&H and hope the next post is from Cathi.

Oh, I'm so glad she's fiesty again.  I hope this really addresses the pain she was in.  Cathi:  You are so strong!  I'm glad things are looking up, friend.
