Greetings All,
Well.....Danna is expecting/preparing to leave the hospital tomorrow!!!!! She looks so good. She had a rough start this morning. She was visited in dialysis by Dr. Shield and Dr. Doering and she immediately asked when she could leave. Dr. Shield told her she had to be able to eat more, so she could tolerate oral pain medication. Up until that point, she would take one bite of something and have horrible cramping. When she returned after dialysis her lunch was in her room and she ate with a purpose. Needless to say, she began her oral pain medication about an hour later and was disconnected from all IV's and oxygen. Wow...to walk with out all the "stuff" was really good. She continued to have a great afternoon, being visited by friends Micha, Karie, and MacKenzie. Miss Allie has been staying with Karie and family and came to Wichita with them today. They are staying the night and will go home tomorrow. Micha asked Danna how she felt and she said "I think I am going to live today". It was so good to hear her say those words. Danna hopes that she will be dismissed by noon. Dylan competed in an Odyssey of the Minds competition in Liberal today and his team placed first. We will keep you posted on the developments tomorrow. Again, thank you for all of your well wishes and prayers. They are a link to normal life.
God Bless,
Deanna
