Thursday afternoon update

Grandma slept until about 5:30 this morning.  That is a pretty good nights sleep.  She hasn't taken any of the new pain medicine, and she is much better this afternoon as far as being alert and able to talk to Grandpa, Emily, myself and Susan.  Her voice is still very weak, but not so weak that we can't understand her.  She was able to eat several bites of food this morning, and also had a little bit to drink.  Shelli is bringing her a vanilla coke from Sonic, so she will be happy soon!  We hope she will be able to drink a lot of it!  Grandpa is quite pleased with the way she is feeling today...he says she is ordering him around like usual.  LOL  :)  Nurse Brooke is expected to come and check up on her sometime today, we hope that her levels are where they should be.  She hasn't used any oxygen today, and doesn't seem to be in any distress.  We will know more after the nurse has been here.  I will update when I know more.  Keep on sharing and posting, she really does enjoy hearing from you. Thanks again for all the prayers!  More later...
