Ricki continues to make small improvements every day. Her pain and heart rate are under control. They also took her off oxygen so we are minus one more attachment. She still looks forward to her breathing treatments.... They were going to take her chest drain out but it needs another day. We were relieved..We are all exhausted and it is nice just to rest today and then hit some hard stuff again tomorrow :)
It brings me to tears each day how sweet all of Ricki's doctors have been to her. We love Dr Belzburg, Ricki's NF2 Neurosurgeon. He stopped by today and told Ricki it was going to hurt when they took the chest drain out. He told her if it were him he would need a bottle of Jack Daniels but since she couldn't have that she needed to make sure they gave her something for the pain before. He said if they came to take it out and hadn't given her anything to tell them to not come back until they had:) Ricki had fun joking around with him.
Ricki has missed her dogs! It is so fun to see even the small little miracles in our life. We saw a therapy dog in the foyer this morning so we asked if she could visit. She said it very unlikely since it is such a big hospital but today it did. We were excited things fell into place and she got a special visit from Winnie.
Today we are again grateful for many miracles in our lives and look forward to more good days ahead!
