Tuesday

Last night (tuesday) I took Anneka (my daughter, age 4) to see her Oma. I had taken her 2 days ago also. Two days ago, she had a tube in her nose that went down her throat to drain her stomach. She also had oxygen, and a couple other hoses attached. In the room, Anneka acted like everything was normal, but in the hall way, out of Oma's earshot, she said "Mommy, Oma looks....kinda funny. BUT don't tell her I said that...I wouldn't want to hurt her feelings."

Smart kid! Anyway, last night we went to see Mom, and again, what a recovery! No more tubes! She has only the IV! She is getting up to walk, use the bathroom, and even walked us to the elevator (leaning on her IV pole for support)

I'm so proud of her! She looks great, and had a yummy lunch of Broccoli soup (broth with no chunks), jello, and even ice-cream.

She was laughing alot, and wanted me to share some funny stories on this site. Not just the facts, but some light-hearted stuff!

For example...the time that she touched her nose and said "Oh...my nose sure feels dry!" To which I explained "Mom...that's a band-aid!" (a cloth-type bandaid afixing her nose-tube)

Last night we laughed and laughed....and she would hold her incision and say "ooooooo!" because too much laughing would hurt!

We still are waiting to hear about the lymph nodes. But I have a feeling it will be good news. She's such a trooper!
