July 27 Update

Margaret’s progress on Thursday wasn’t as good as Wednesday. She didn’t feel very good, and she actually experienced small setbacks in some aspects of her recovery.

Nevertheless, she received a good evaluation from Dr. Lurain and his team during their morning rounds. And, throughout the day, she:

• took five walks,

• talked with callers on the phone,

• ate at least some of each meal, and

• enjoyed a very welcome and pleasant visit by Nancy King.

Dr. Lurain told us in the evening that he continues to be pleased with Margaret's progress and, “depending on how everything looks in the morning”, he most likely will let her go home on Friday. Margaret and I both are hoping that happens.

Margaret, hopefully you are on your way home or already there. I have thought of you often and said a little prayer each evening. As you noted "ever forward, but slowly" I am ready to go canoeing for cash again. Take care!

Margaret and Karl-

Thinking of you and hoping today was the day you find yourselves at home again. Margaret, one thing I was told about recovery from this type of surgery and in taking the steps to beat cancer, recovery is not a steady thing-you get better and then not so much. I say this so you know it's normal from my experience and you are making progress, just not in the way we normally think of it being made.
