July 17, 2008 Sherri's Progress

Hope all of you are well!

I just wanted to give you an update on Sherri. She slept great last
night. Thank goodness they did they surgery later in the day because
the anesthesia helped her sleep pretty much through the night. She
was on a morphine pump, which helped. The took the pump off this
morning and took out the catheter. They wanted her to start sitting
up more starting at 6:00, which made her feel nauseated. But that has
now passed and she even ate dinner. She was starting to feel some
pain this afternoon but hopefully they will get the pain meds
regulated and that will alleviate that. They are planning to release
her tomorrow evening and hopefully, we can get her just to take it
easy and rest.

Some of you have asked about chemo and radiation. She will definitely
have to endure chemo but will not have to do radiation. I am not sure
when that will start or how long she will have to do it. We will know
more definitely next week when the final pathology comes back.

Thank you all for your prayers and phone calls. I will try to email a
progress report daily to let everyone know how she is doing. We so
appreciate all of you and we have definitely felt your prayers!
