Bigger Bed + Bigger Room = More Comfort!

I went to visit Christy yesterday on my way home from running errands. Got to her room and wait... Her bed is made and there is NONE of her stuff in there...??? What the heck? So I went to the nurses station and asked "where is my sister?" They said "oh we moved her" wheww, I wasn't really worried but it was odd cause I hadn't heard anything about them changing her into a different room.

Her new room is BIG and it has a Queen size bed which is very comfortable! They said it is so she can be used to be in the home life. Which makes sense since will have been in the hospital for over 9 weeks by the time she gets home. They said they will even let her husband sleep in the bed with her. I hope he can control himself.... HAHA!

Her surgery is scheduled for Monday. This is the surgery that is going to put something in her skull to replace the piece they had to remove. Which means NO MORE ugly brown helmet. The bad thing is it's another surgery. It's not as dangerous as the first 3 but still it's in the head so there is always some risks. Our prayers have been answered so far so I believe she will be just fine. They said that when she has her surgery she will go back to the 4th floor to recover. ICU! Gah... I don't ever want to see ICU again. It may not be ICU but it will be that floor. After she recovers then they will send her home which sounds like only a few days after her surgery! YAY!!! I am so excited that she gets to go home. The only bad thing is that I will have a little farther to drive to see her :( Oh well at least she is going to be home!

It has been the longest almost 9 weeks ever! 9 weeks ago we didn't know if she was even going to survive and now she is walking 500 ft with her walker and someone on each side of her to keep her from falling. She is talking, which is a huge accomplishment, and she is laughing! It is so fun to hear her laugh. The only thing we really need to work on is her swallowing, she needs to get that back so we can get off the PEG line. She is eating a little now but not enough to have it removed. We are waiting for the day when she can have a Mint Chocolate Creamie her FAVORITE! We are going to have a Party when she can.

Our family has seen miracles in the last 9 weeks. If you don't believe that there is a god... You will after an experience like this.

We love you Christy!
