Just got back from our longest walk yet. Kthleen is doing great. She spent most of the afternoon in bed with a headache, but she is feeling better now. Lasagna, grapes, apple pie, and ice cream for dinner, along with plenty of water and sprite. She is eating well and getting plenty of fluids. I tried to offer her wine, but she pleasantly declined. Maybe tomorrow?
We received instructions to see an opthomologist when we return to Des Moines to ensure we keep her right eye safe and healthy since it does not quite close all the way. I consulted my friend Dr. Marcos Lopez, and as usual, he was extremely helpful in explainig what we were dealing with, why we needed to do certain things, and how to keep her eye safe while the facial nerve heals.
We still anticipate a release from the hospital tomorrow, and should be back in Des Moines Monday afternoon. Thanks again to everyone for the comments on the blog, we love reading through them and hearing from all of you.

Hope you are home tomorrow Aunt Kathleen. Have sweet dreams tonight! Love Jack and Bobby
ReplyDeleteWe hope you feel well enough to come home tomorrow, but be good to yourself and take the time you need. I know the girls are going to be so happy to see you both and vice versa. Sleep well, and know that you have many people praying for your healthy/speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteWe love you,
Dave and Sandy
So glad you are able to go home tomorrow. Wonderful progress you are making, but be sure to rest when you get home and not over do it.
ReplyDeleteSNAPS for Kathleen. So glad to hear how wonderful everything is going. Keep it up.
ReplyDeleteJust one question, when did the cheesey potatoes become "Kathleen Potatoes"?...sounds like "hangover potatoes" to me!!!
