So this quote is attributed to Vince Lombardi, but I thought it was fitting for Sara’s situation. Except that she hasn’t literally fallen down, don’t worry! There isn’t too much to update, but “boring” is a good update too 🙂 .

Sara’s recovery has continued to progress, slowly but surely. She is now able to do several laps around her floor, without holding on to anything for assistance (her IV pole is with her just in case). She is also spending more time sitting up in the chair in her room. Other signs of progress – the arterial IV in her neck has been removed (ick!) and her epidural is scheduled to be removed tomorrow. Her main complaint concerns the blood thinner shots that she has to receive twice a day, apparently the medicine itself stings a lot when it is applied. Yes, it is better than developing a blood clot, but still not very pleasant. Oh and she isn’t too thrilled about the hospital food, but then this seems to be a universal issue! She had to start on a very bland and mushy diet as well and is finally able to start eating a few more “regular” foods.

As to the $64,000 question – when is her release date – we don’t know yet. Hopefully it will be within a few days, but she still has to meet her doctor’s list of criteria first. As soon as she knows the date, I will update the information here. Thanks again for all of your support!
