Thursday, July 2nd

Today was much better than yesterday. Mama did not like the morphine she had been given as it made her very, very tired and she does not want to be like that! Instead they gave her Vicodin which didn't make her tired and helped with the pain. The nurse took her cathater out- something Mama was very happy about! Today she walked a bunch by herself! She said the pain was still there when she walked but that it was bearable. Dr. Ellis came by and spoke with her today and he was pleasantly surprised to see her looking so good and doing so well. He estimated that they took about 12 inches of her colon out. Hopefully, tomorrow will be even better than today!
