Why are hospital floors so shiny and clean? Evidently, it's because they spent the night shift buffing, waxing, and shining with the loudest equipment possible. Everyone knows hospitals aren't a great place to catch up on sleep with the every 2 hour vital signs. What we didn't expect were the major housekeeping projects during the night!
Steve enjoyed an awesome night of sleep in a non-reclining chair. :-) The upside is that he was here with Suze to watch the Reds come from a 7-3 deficit to beat the DBacks.....around 1am!
Having said that, Susan did get some rest and is feeling better today. Moving on to pudding, jello, tea (of course she was asking for coffee instead!). Surgeon #2 stopped by and gave positive comments. Drains look good and minimal pain meds were used. She's been up out of bed twice and will be moving to a chair today (finally getting that penthouse view!) All signs point to being "on target" for Friday discharge.
Suze is napping now and waiting for surgeon #1 to make rounds. Thanks to all those who have posted comments. We relay them to Suze and she's enjoying hearing them all.
More to update later today.
Shauna, Steve, and Sharon
Thats really great news! They do get you moving early in the hospital.
ReplyDeleteOur thoughts are with you Susan and we hope you enjoy that window view today. You'll have to get another chair for tonights game...GO REDS! We fell asleep before the comeback.
Hope you all have a great day!
Love, C, R, MA, and A
Good morning Team Buring! At this rate, Suze, you'll be more active than I am by tomorrow! Have a good day.

Can't believe the speed with which you are beginning the recovery phase - it's fabulous. Hang in there - know the road is long but think of the recovery time you can spend in Palm Coast!! Thinking of you. Sue C
ReplyDeleteSo glad everything went well. I knew it would. Really glad to see Susan is up and moving too! Glad you are on track to go home on Friday!
ReplyDeleteThoughts and prayers your way.
Glad you're up and around!! I knew you'd do well! Have been thinking of you all lots and wish speedy progress!! Thx Shauna for
ReplyDeleteposting; great idea!
I say you smuggle her in a good cup of coffee! Glad to hear she's on track. Give her my best.
ReplyDeleteOh, c'mon... are you SURE she wasn't asking for a glass of wine instead of tea???
ReplyDeleteYou are truly an amazing person with an amazing family, not just cause we're related but talking about the Cincy family. We look forward to your speedy recovery and seeing you at an Oct. 9th showdown at Commonwealth Stadium (maybe our taxi won't run out of gas on Paris Pike this year). Steve and Shauna, I promise we'll take it easy on the Tigers this year, we don't have much of a choice. Take care of yourself and you know you are loved by many people.
