Good Morning Magnolia

Nicole had a good night. She was comfortable and rested well. Terri stayed with her and helped with the repositioning, med checks, and chest pt that occurs every 4 hours. The Doctor's came by between 7:30 and 8:00 this morning to check on the patient. They want to give Nicole some blood to bring her numbers up a bit and to help perk her up. They have also given the OK for a clear liquid type diet. Nicole has been asking to eat but we don't think jello is what she had in mind. It will have to do for now. She is waking up very often now, wanting to know what day it is and being quite playful at times as well. Her pain levels are low, she only complains a bit when she gets moved about which happens about once an hour or so. We are happy with her progress, she is making good headway toward recovery.

Hi Nicole,

Your SIRE buddies (Penny, Karen, Karen and Becky) are all thinking about you and talking about you today. We send love, prayers and horse kisses (from Dusty). Tell those doctors you need Mexican food and Peeps for dessert. We're glad that you are doing so well and hope you will be home for Christmas. Keep the updates coming. Inquiring minds need to know.
