Kelly Update III

I saw Kelly and the surgeon, Carlo Rica, for a while this morning. She has had no problems at all - no fever, eating well and in a pretty good mood. The surgeon thinks that she will need to stay in bed another day and then start walking and getting back to usual daily activities.

Several of you have tried to call her without success and this is because she is still in the ICU. They are very strict about visiting there and there are no phones for patients. I can only see her there from 12-1PM and 5-6PM.

As of 4:00 PM here – 2:00 in Atlanta and 12:00 in Albuquerque - Kelly was still in the ICU. This is solely because her bed is not ready in her room. The surgeon felt fine sending her back to her room first thing this morning. They tell me that she should get to her room in an hour or so.

These are views out the windows in Kelly's room and a view of Kelly's room last night before the surgery. She didn't mind a photo of the room but did not want to have her face in the photo. Perhaps today. I thought that she looked beautiful.

Dear Ann & Kevin,
We are all thinking you of you in Atlanta and praying for a very speedy recovery. Even though this has put a HUGE damper on your vacation, we are so thankful that Dr. Kevin was on the trail of this disease AND that he speaks fluent Spanish.
Sorry that you will both spend Christmas at the hospital, but we will be thinking about you guys tomorrow. Take care and thank you for the frequent updates.
Love, Mike & Anne

Good report. Merry Christmas if we don't get through by phone, which I wouldn't be surprised. I am hoping that all continues in a positive direction. We had a great hike in Marin today. We really needed the nature fix and we got it. Any chance you will get out in the countryside? Much love, Pam and Joe
