The Recovery from Surgery

It’s now the day after the surgery, and Mom is beginning to heal from it. Today she has dutifully been doing her breathing exercises to keep her lungs clear and healthy. Her goal was to get up for four walks today, and true to form, she did succeed. She was also to receive two units of blood transfusion this evening, which is sometimes needed after surgery.


Mom would like everyone to know how much she appreciates the cards and flowers, and is also grateful for the support (both emotional and edible) everyone has given to our family.

Hi Laura,
I am so glad to hear you came through surgery so well. You have been in our prayers. We are going to DC to see the kids this weekend but I will call you next week and get on the schedule to bring dinner.
