Today brings good news....Ashley was able to come home from the hospital today!! She was discharged this morning and is resting in the hotel room. From one bed to another! Its too bad the hotel bed is not adjustable... makes getting in and out a little difficult! All in all she is doing great. A little more sore today, but I think that is just because she has been moving around a lot more, and has been sitting/laying in positions she has not been in while at the hospital. She is very excited to be back with Chloe (her dog) and in the hotel. A change of scenery certainly can raise the spirits and help the body heal faster.
Mom is still doing great. She had a CT Scan yesterday to check on her liver and other organs, and everything checked out perfect! Her blood work continues to show progress every day, proving her new liver is getting stronger. She still remains in a little discomfort, but that can be expected. As we sit here almost a week out of surgery, I am amazed at how well she is doing. While it is taking a bit of time for some of her other organs to wake up and start working at 100%, her liver has been functioning wonderfully. And that of course is of the utmost importance.
One home, one to go!
Mom has shown great interest in making a post on the blog very soon, so stay tuned for that!

what wonderful progress Ashley and Martha are making. Thanks for posting a report for us to read. I will be praying that all of Martha's organs "wake up" and sense the new liver! Give your mom our love and hug her for us. Tell Ed we say hello.

Yay!! Someone (haha!) once said, "There's no place like home". How right she was, even if 'home' is in a hotel temporarily. And Martha...those pesky organs not wanting to wake up!! :) So glad you are both doing great. And ditto, Bryan - please give your Dad a big hug from the Sternads!!
ReplyDeleteOne out and one to go! Can't wait until you all are at the lake. Need an alarm for those organs that are still sleeping. Love to all and prayers for all. Medical science is a miracle. God is great. Gayle
