Guest guest Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 Thanks Teri. I was so disappointed not to be able to join all a few weeks back. Annette's sister called with an update today and left a great, detailed message. The surgery went fine, and Annette is doing well so far. There was one unexpected episode, when the continuous drip that was ordered didn't come on time (they gave her injections till it arrived), and her pain levels were higher at that point. Once she started the drip at 8:30 PM, she was much better, and she then had a very good night in ICU. She was "amazing alert" when family went into ICU to see her yesterday. She was thanking family members for their help and was able to report on her pain levels accurately. Her sister is so pleased with the pain management now as compared to twenty some years ago during the original surgery. Today, Annette slept peacefully most of the time, and her pain level was down to an amazing three at one point! They were supposed to move her out of ICU before the end of today and the hospital was checking out room availability. Teri, I hope we can all get together again sometime in the not too distant future. Till then, I'll post more updates. Annette is not up to phone calls yet, but it will be great hearing her voice when she's up to it. Judy [ ] Re: Annette (aebaker716) Thank you for the update on Annette. I haven't met you yet but I met Annette and the northern VA gathering a few weeks back. I have been thinking of her today and appreciate the update. Teri Quote
