<b><font color="brown"><font face= "comic sans MS"> <Center><img SRC="http://ww2.netnitco.net/users/trouble2/brln1b.gif"></center> Sheryl is in her own room. She has been there since Tuesday - sorry I didn't get a chance to tell you before this. They might be sending her to the 3rd floor today for either the physical therapy floor or the 'step down' floor – she wasn't sure which but knows that they will be giving her physical therapy for 10-14 days. Today he gave her some pointers on how to get out of the chair without using her stomach muscles and that seemed to help. <br> She had a bad experience on Tuesday night when they left her in the chair for over 2 hours without a call button and no way to get help. She was hurting terribly by the time they came to put her back to bed and then they were rude and kept telling her she could do it herself - keep in mind she still does not stand by herself, she needs help especially after being in bed for so long - pray that the nursing staff improves. They continue to wake her up at night – you know to make sure she's sleeping - which is keeping her from a good nights sleep. They are giving her liquids now. They are also talking about not closing the wound by surgery but instead letting it heal on it's own which means that she will go home with an open wound. She told us today that it looks like raw meat - yuk that does not sound very pleasant to me. <br> I will visit Sheryl next week to give her an updated version of her surgery page, please send lots of get well wishes so she will have a nice thick stack to roll up and swat those rude folks with!

The tube came out and she made great strides forward yesterday.<p> They had her sitting up on the edge of the bed dangling her feet once yesterday and were going to do it again last night. The night before she was shown how to work the remote and tonight she was calling the nurse herself and making her needs known. She and Jeff .. one of the nurses... were teasing each other today - I think she is getting much better but will still need another surgery and be in the hospital for a few more weeks. <p>Thank you for your prayers, I know that prayer is what brought her through this ordeal!
