3/13

Today Mom got her catheder removed and they removed the IV also. They will put the IV in to her neck on Tuesday for the surgery. On Tuesday they will remove the wound vac and do a skin graft on her right arm. She's been coping with the pain well as long as she gets her pain meds every 4 hours so I've been trying to be sure that's happening otherwise the pain starts and she gets nausea and then it makes her cry. She has eaten better today than most days so today has been a good uneventful day.

Mike came to visit twice. The phone at mom's house isn't working so if you need to reach him, leave a message and he will call you back 304-617-9201. Yesterday Mom's boss and his boss came to visit and brought flowers. That seemed to ease Mom's mind after talking to them. Today David Thomas and his wife visited today (mom's cousins), Marlalee was here for a bit. Tomorrow Kitty is coming back to give me a minute to get out of the hospital. Barbara Shupe has called a few times, so did Scott, Aunt Nancy and Chel. Chipper called a minute ago so I'm going to call him back to let him talk to Mom.

Good night, I'll update tomorrow.

love,
Katie

Well we are all tired and ready for bed.
