Hello friends:

Update last evening from Sheila's friend Barb. Sheila was still in ICU, having considerable pain after surgery and getting a morphine drip. She is feeling nauseated. Again, the doctor said the surgery went well and lasted about an hour. She is able to have a little water.

I will pass on any information that comes in e-mails from Barb. Hope we all can continue to remember Sheila in prayer, that she will at last have freedom from TN pains.

thanks sooooooo much silver swan for keeping us updated.
I hope and pray the Doc did an exellent job and Sheila IS on her way to being pain free FOR GOOD !!!

for your frequent postings regarding Sheila. I will be away from my computer all day today til about 5 PM so won't be able to forward any updates about Sheila before that time, unless something comes in before I leave this morning about ten AM.

Shirley H.

but I will post any update I get yet tonight. I am assuming things are going well or I would have heard otherwise from either Barb or Jean, Sheila's friends that have been keeping me posted via e-mail.

Here is the e-mail I just received from Barb:

Hi Ladies:

I talked to Sheila this morning! She sounded like herself but still a little shaky. She has been very itchy from the antibiotics; this morning they finally gave her some Benedril. She was so happy not to be itching.

Clear liquids today but they promised something a little better for lunch. She was out for a walk yesterday and was scheduled for another this morning. Indications are that she should be home this weekend. Her kitties miss her and she misses them.

I sent along all your good wishes and prayers along with others from around here. My mom lit a candle for all day Monday. She has great support.

Tom and her son Kevin have been thre all week. They are still staying tonight - may come home tomorrow night. They sounded tired too.

Thanks for all your notes and good wishes. I know she can't wait to get back online.

P. S. this took 2 tries - my cat, Katie, was rubbing up to me and turned off the Internet connection.

Thanks again for the update, it's much appreciated!

good she will be home for holiday. I remeber being wireed up durring Thanksgiving and the pain was horrible. I am glad she is feeling a little better , can rest and be waited on at home. Thanks a bunch sliver swan. Still always the best wishes Sheila .
