Day 3... February 2, 2007

This in from "Aunt Sally"

Patti is in a lot of pain, they may even do an epidural to help this. From
my understanding of this they stopped the pain meds because an IV was
bothering her.

They also removed one of the drainage tubes, she still has 2 on the right
and 1 on the left side.

An ultra sound was done today and found a little fluid on one lung, but it is
okay and would not be sufficient for surgery.

Muff did sneek Brady in for a full minute today to pump her up before getting
kicked out of ICU.

We all know the first 48 hours is most crucial and we are through that so
YAHOO! Her oxygen level is at 100% which in itself is amazing.

She is ready to eat but her body is not ready to handle food. SOON! I am so
grateful she has a great love for food! Some of the nurses in the next
curtain room were talking about food and it really ticked her off...she's
back....move over girl and watch out!

Joan called with the update on the above. On the other hand Master Brady has
2 new teeth. Both on top the one on the left is fully through the one on the
right is just barely making an appearance.

Now this from me:

Brady has returned to New York with his Grandma and Grandpa Prince so Mommy can get better. Nathanial and Joan (Patti's hubby and mom) are there in Cleveland with her to monitor her recovery for us.

Sally will email me nightly with updates and I will post them here before I go to bed every night so I know that I have all of the days news.

We aren't out of the woods yet. There are still good days and bad days to come. Please keep praising and praying. Our God is such an AWESOME GOD! Amen.
