Getting Better!!

Well, today was a pretty good day for Cindy. This morning they took the drain tube out of her nose and they changed the dressing on the incision in her stomach. Cindy was able to eat a Popsicle and make a little action on the other end too. That is a good thing!!!! The doctors say that she should get to go home Wed. or Thur. She will have a vacuum drain in her belly for about 6 weeks and Home Health will have to come and change the dressing three times a week. This will allow her incision to heal from the inside out.
On another note: The girls back home are learning a little Independence. Lauren and Amy have been doing some things that the live in maid usually takes care of. Rich said "no one thanked me for cooking dinner!!!!". Sandra says "Welcome to my world!!!".
While here in Durham we ran into an old friend from church that we haven't seen in about 5 years. Beth Newman (formally Sweeney) came by to see Cindy and prayed with us. Spending about 45 minutes with her made us all feel like we had never been apart. Just imagine what it will be like when we all get together for eternity!! Oh yeah, she had a beautiful baby boy five months ago and he is such a cutie. Thanks everyone for your prayers, Tom & Sandra

What? Lauren and Amy are making their own beds?!

Now's your opportunity Sandra, to let them keep it up even after you get home. You'll be busy enough caring for Cindy.

All that is great news.
