Much Better!

Today was good. She's doing well, and her surgeon came by again,.... she was very pleased with the outcome, and very optimistic. That's what we want to hear! Carol also said today that although she thought before that she was 'ready to go' she's not now, and hopes to continue to make the most of her time left. Regardless of anything, she is hoping most to at least be able to go home for awhile.

We've had a lot of great talks, a LOT of laughs recalling old stories, and some very special time spent with many family members the last few days. It's been wonderful. Today I got to spend time with Lyndsey & Jayden, too, and that was awesome.

I'm so exhausted I can barely see straight so I am still going to hold off much for details,.... walking the halls at the hospital today I just about walked into a couple walls, and there were 2-3 times today I had to sit down quickly so I didn't collapse. I did take a short nap in Carol's room this afternoon with her while everyone else hung out in the waiting room, and I have been sleeping at night, and eating. I fell asleep a few different times today at the hospital. It's just all the emotional stuff that is so draining, the long days, the worry, and the driving,.. it all adds up, and with the FMS, I'm just sort of folding. So, I think tomorrow we'll stay here and just rest and spend some personal family time for Father's Day.

Anyway, we are still holding tightly to hope, and I will continue to keep you posted as we hear any more news. Thanks again for all the support. Carol is such a fighter,..... her strength continues to amaze me, and I just love her so much.
