Day #1: Part 2

Good morning-
Today starts as Day #1 again in post-surgery recovery.  Kara had a stable night and all her vitals are still good.  She will keep the tube in her nose to help with stomach drainage and nausea.  They have her set up with the PCA (pain med pump) and she will stay in the ICU at least through today.  She is talking a little bit and mostly resting.  Fortunately, she doesn't remember much from the last few days!

*UPDATE*
Kara sat in a chair for a while, but sleep was her top venture of the day.   She is lucky to have such skilled and compassionate coworkers in the ICU.  I can speak for Kara and her family - we are grateful and appreciative of each person's kindness and gentle care.  It's a tough, ironic twist for Kara to be the patient.  Please continue to pray with us in thanksgiving and for strength and patience in this long journey. 

Baby steps...big picture.
