Small announcement! The blog website address has been updated to: https://sarasfightsong.com
Hopefully that will be a bit easier to remember. The previous address will still work too though. 

Today is not a very big update day, but sometimes that is good. Sara had the port placed this morning. She was awake during the port insertion, but pronounced the procedure as “gross” :). You know she is feeling a bit better when her sense of humor is making an appearance! She also had a walking milestone this morning – from her room to around the nurses’ station, using a walker. While walking helps with some of the internal pain (i.e. gas), the getting in-and-out-of-bed part is still difficult and painful.

Although the port itself doesn’t hurt, she reports that the doctors want her to be walking a bit better (remember, her house has stairs!) and the pain management improved, before she can be discharged. Sometime this weekend is the goal.

So that’s about it, she is working very hard to get better and she really appreciates all the words of support, offers of help, and contributions to the GoFundMe site. I think these collective efforts are helping to relieve some degree of anxiety, which is normal in this type of situation.
