Karen had a much more restful night last night. She saw one of the surgeons this morning and everything is still looking good. Her kidney function still looks great and her hemoglobin actually went up which is a good indication that the internal bleeding has stopped.
Karen is really driven to get up and exercise. Yesterday she walked a total of a mile plus went up and down stairs and her goal for today is to walk 1.2 miles.
The best guess from the doctors is that she will need to stay in the hospital for another week and then remain in Baltimore for two weeks after that for follow-ups. That would put our return to Winston-Salem around April 5 which is about two weeks longer than we originally planned. The additional surgery set us back a bit.
The rowhouse we are staying in is rented out next weekend but then is available until April 5 so I will move to a hotel for about 4 days then back to the rowhouse for what we hope will be the rest of our stay here. It has been great having Ashley here this week. She flies back to Winston-Salem tonight.
God is so good and continues to bless us! Again thanks for all the cards, blog comments, phone calls, text messages, emails but especially your prayers. They really brighten our days!
