Try A Little Harder to Be a Little Better...

Ahhhhh. Another day in the hospital. Another day filled with poking and prodding, annoying questions, being awakened at all hours, and constant requests to take a walk. And that's just from the family.

Liz is taking it all in stride...even if that stride is a lot slower these days.

She was thrilled to be able to eat some food today...though in hospital lingo that means she got to drink some broth and slurp some jello. No matter. Anything is better than ice chips. Her compliments to the chef.

Dr. Fuchshuber (I think I might actually be spelling that right now!) is amazed at how good she looks and how spectacular all her blood work is. We expect she will remain on the epidural for another day or so and then she'll try pain management via pills. Oh sweet Vicodin.

Minor set back: Shingles. Apparently it's not that uncommon for immuno-suppressed patients to find themselves battling that virus. She does not have any pain from it thus far though, so we view at as a pesky irritation that must be endured in order to get better. Plus, we all look real cute in our blue latex gloves everytime we escort her through the halls on her thrice-daily walks. We call it the "Liz Parade" and will be bringing small candies for her to throw at other patients in future promanades. Do you think they will allow that?

She is certainly getting back to her old self. Laughing, joking, and pretending to find us funny. We think we're hilarious (see photos below as evidence), though her nurse Amber seems less than amused. She loves hearing from all of you via your posts and comments. Keem them and those prayers coming!
