Wow! It has been a while since we have updated the blog! Mom is doing so so good.
For those of you that are wondering about if you should visit her or not... you should! She is feeling so good now and loves to have company. It has been quite a trial for her to have to sit all day long. That is not something she is used to doing at all. So having company really helps take her mind off sitting!

She had a procedure done where they moved her drain tube that is connected to her liver from one spot to another with the hopes that it would slow down the drainage and hopefully come out sooner. It has been about two weeks since they have done that, and the drainage is slowing down a bit. That is great and she hopes that she will be able to get that out soon. She also still has the shunt placed on the other side of her liver, which has to be flushed everyday. She will be one happy woman when both of those will be ready to be removed. She was very excited the other day when she was able to get the lid of her cranberry juice all by herself. She hasn't quite worked up to her gatorade lid yet... that's a tough one. We have high hopes for you mom!
