Update for Friday, December 10, 2010

Denise rested and slept most of Friday and the night.  Subsequently, the pain meds are doing a better job controlling the pain from surgery.  She continues to have painful spasms from the bowel resection and the bladder where the tumor was attached (the pain meds are not effective with the spasms).  As her body heals, the spasms will diminish (hopefully in a few weeks).  She is able to eat small, light meals.

Naseau, a side effect of the chemo therapy, is "kicking her butt" and takes some meds to help.

Danny retrieved Denise's Christmas decorations from storage and has decorated the house to infuse our home with the holiday spirit!  Ahhhhhhhhh!

So happy that she is home. How nice to have Dad decorate for your holidays, what a blessing. I hope Uncle Danny knows how special that must be for her. Love you all, prayers continue to come your way. Please let me know when she is ready for some company.

Yay for sleep and yay for your Dad putting up decorations! So glad you are getting good sleep with that pup. I can see from the picture that he's taking good care of you. Cora drew you a butterfly--it has brown eyes--just like you & her.

Happy you are surrounded by Christmas joy. It is my favorite time of the year and you definitely have a knack for choosing fun decorations. Hope the nausea is under control. Isn't it unbelievable how much love and comfort we get from our animals. Love seeing Oliver next to you on the bed. I think God gives us what we need to comfort us, give us peace and his love. So Ruffy was there for you.

Love and hugs to you all. Waiting for the next news, really appreciate your all taking to time to include us in Denise's journey. Thanks so much.
