It’s already 3:45pm EST and I am finally able to sit down, put work on hold and let all you wonderful people know how the glorious Amy Halliburton is doing today.
Despite a few meds-interrupted moments, Amy slept very well last night. The pain in her chest and her arm is unquestionably still present but the intensity has begun to subside. Before Noon she was already able to get out of bed and sit in a chair. 24 hours ago she couldn’t move her arm and now she has been out of bed and plans to start walking by dinner. Speaking of dinner, solid foods are now working their way back into Amy’s diet. Rumor has it that David is concocting a fresh, scrumptious salad to celebrate. These are all very great and comforting signs of the healing progress that still has a ways to go. Not that any of us are surprised by the unwavering amelioration Amy has summoned in her body.
All of your emails and calls and blog comments are much much appreciated, I hope you all know that. Have a wonderful rest of your Thursday.

Sounds like you guys are doing as good as you possibly can, Cathy. Thanks so much for the great updates, and please tell Amy that my thoughts are with you all incessantly! :) And remind her what I told her (the night before her surgery)..."believe it or not, the pain will get exponentially better every single day." And once she's at home and not having the nurses come in to check her vitals every 2 hours, that will definitely help with the rest and recovery process. It will feel so good to be in her own bed.
ReplyDeletePlease send her my love, and everyone else too. Be well and hang in there. Amy is so blessed to have all of you in her life!! :)
Lots of Love,
Melanie
Forget about Amy, what about Jess' vocabulary??? I'm knocked out and impressed. That private education really paid off! Jess, you're so articulate and you write so beautifully! . . .Now back to Amy. Yay, you're getting better. I'm so happy my friend is going to be back to her normal self soon! Hugs (gently, I know) and kisses.

ReplyDeleteThanks Jessica, it's great to be updated, I have to agree with Vicki you write so well Amy, it sounds like you are making good progress. I'm so happy but you've got the spirit so I would expect nothing less.

What amazing healing machines are our bodies!!!!! Coupled with Amy's beautiful spirit, RECOVERY, RESTORATION, and REVITALIZATION seem the 3 Rs of the moment. Thanks for the outstanding update, Jessica.
