Today marked another day of accomplishments for Sharon. Her day started out with the arrival of her close friends Carolyn and Mary. She was able to spend her morning visting with her friends and get some much needed 'girl' time in. (I need to thank Carolyn for calling me and giving the updates for me to share with you). Carolyn mentioned that Dr. Adams payed a visit while they were there and they were able to meet and hug him! They also helped Sharon eat her breakfas of broth and juice. They were then excited to see at lunch time Sharon was allowed soft foods. She got to dine on mashed potatoes (she said they were quite gross) and pear sauce. I'm sure that Sharon is quite ready to get out of the hospital just to get away from the food!
The nurses were able to remove Sharon's catheter today and everything was working as it should. Brad talked with her around 7 this evening and they also removed her epidural and put her on the pain pills. She said her pain level was manageable and she felt good. He commented that she sounded so much better than yesterday, like things were clearer. This was so good to hear, also it is another step to being discharged from the hospital. Carolyn said that Sharon found out she could be discharged on Wednesday, possibly to a recovery/rehab center to continue her healing and to help her regain her strength.
I think that's all the excitement for today. Tomorrow is the day that all the test results come back. Let's all continue to think positive thoughts and hope that she will be able to hear exactly what she wants to hear!

Okay - verse 2:

Hi Sharon!!! I am so happy to hear that you are doing better. Since you started your blog, I check it at least 5 times a day (probably more, my computer automatically designated it a favorite because I check it so much). I'm glad you are able to eat some soft foods...although pear sauce and mashed potatoes don't sound the best, they are making you strong! Maybe I could make you some "soft" peanut butter brownies (would that be allowed? )I guess probably not, So when you are feeling better I will make you any treat you can dream up!!!
And thank you Val for updating us!!
