Just Talked to Vonnie!

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

I just got off the phone with Vonnie. All is well. She came through

the surgery very well and so far her progress is good. She came out

of ICU last night and is down on 5West with a nice roomate. She has

been up sitting and walked twice...catheter came out earlier today.

If she continues to do well they expect they may discharge her

between surgeries to her own home on Saturday.

As always, she feels pretty much like she was run over by a

truck...but to me she sounded chipper and she said her pain was well

controlled now with just oral meds. I think she said she has used 3

units of blood and has more family donating next week for surgery #2.

Here is the link to the email a patient form at NEBH...name is

Vonnie Callahan:

I think they only deliver during the business week so if you want to

send a note do it before too long..they are planning on letting her

escape soon!
