Well don't I feel refreshed after a .... Never mind. i could use 5 more hours of sleep!
But it's a new day. I've been awake for 90 minutes without a making blog entry:) Seriously I hope I didn't overload you with updates yesterday. But I guess you had the chance to share the frustration as things moved so slowly.
Anyway I spoke to Yvonne around 8 AM and she sounded pretty good. Her voice yesterday was very strained because the breathing tube inserted down her throat during surgery left her feeling very sore and dry. And she wasn't allowed to drink anything making it that much worse. So the fact that she sounded OK on the phone is very good.
Today will be a full day for us of talking to doctors and getting a better idea of her recovery situation. My memory from last time is that she should not be around many people because that only increases the odds of being exposed to bacteria, virus, etc.. Certainly anyone sick and coughing/sneezing should stay far away. Her immune system was severely suppressed in order to prevent rejection of the new kidney.
I don't know how much time Yvonne will have to answer you but I'm sure she'd love to get some emails, FB messages or text messages today. I would ask that you not call her since it could get overwhelming. You can always text her and ask her to call if she can.
MISC Notes:
Thanks Greg for researching where the Blogger setting for Time Zone is! I think all my posts now show the correct time.
Kathy plans to visit Yvonne today. They are in different wings on different floors but I think it will happen.
We heard some mention yesterday that the surgery was indeed more difficult than expected. "Technically challenging" is the term I heard. I hope to see someone from the surgery team who can explain that in more detail.
