Friday 10-2-09 Sanoviv - Update

Quick update on Shelly's status - It is a great day!

The pace of this day has been adjusted after meeting with the Dr.  We don't have the hyperthermia today which would have kept us up till 11pm.  YAY! After the slower pace of yesterday and today she is really feeling in better spirits. 

The catheter will placed today at 4pm.  The surgeon to do this was not available in the morning so they will do this in a few hours.

Preparation and expectations for Saturday's surgery:

1.  Fasting from 10pm till the surgery.
2.  Natural sleep aid tonight to acheive a deep rest so her body is ready
3.  2.5 hour surgery starts at 10am
4.  2 hours in recovery
5.  Hyperbaric chamber to expedite healing
6.  May join us in the community room for dinner! 

Those we've talked to who've had surgery here all commented on the quick return to activity and treatments. 

No more of this.....this is what Shelly was having to do to prepare for IV's.

Shelly sends her love to all of you.  Thank you so much for your comments and prayers.  They have been a great encouragement and keep her feeling connected.

I intend to get on line to update the blog as soon as she is in recovery on Saturday.  Ciao for now!

  3. AS I was praying for you tonight regarding your surgery tomorrow I felt the Lord remind me of a few verses that have been very powerful in my life from Hosea 2:16-17 and 19-20. Think of yourself as you begin the surgery with Lord as He woos you (draws you) to bring you into the wilderness where He can speak to you. You will sing there and when you are finished you will call Him "Ishi" Husband. He will betroth you to Himself forever in righteousness, justice and grace and compassion. Also in faithfulness and you will know Him.
    A really precious promise. He will do what He says.
    Much love and prayers!
