Rough Post Op Day #1

Wow what a day!  Denise started the day with a goal to get out of bed and to sit in a chair for a few minutes.  We helped her stand for a second but then she passed out.  She struggled with fever all day and because of the fever several more tests were ordered.  She's been receiving antibiotics. During surgery she lost a significant amount of blood which required having a transfusion today.  It's now 11 pm and her pain is stabilized, fever is low grade and she's starting to get some much needed rest.

When she's feeling well enough to have visitors, we'll let you know via this blog.  She enjoys and appreciates all your kind and supportive comments.

We kept checking but didn't get to see your new post until this morning. Let us know if you need replacement blood donations. Bri and Brit donate reglarly. I am sure they can assign credit to you. Everyday is a step forward. Can't wait for better news today. I remember when I had extensive surgery and repairs. Ouch.
I don't think they hardly woke me up for two day's Bless your brave efforts. You are a trooper, go girl. Sending loving healing vibes and prayers your way often through each day. Dream it, believe it, do it.
