Debbie's Update.....August 23.......by Charlie

As previously mentioned by Herb that Deb was up in a chair yesterday as part of her physical therapy, the work-out exhausted her and she slept from about 2:30 p.m until 11:30 p.m last night which made for dinner at midnight. It's been a long time since I had dinner at midnight but Deb can even make that enjoyable. After dinner and some talk and music, we were settled in at about 2:30 a.m. And she is still resting. Drs are supposed to cap the trachea today. If she handles this well, it should be removed tomorrow. They are also taking away one antibiotic at a time. ..........And, we have happy doctors and nurses this morning, or I should say full happy doctors and nurses. Betty, Deb's mother, graciously provided a catered breakfast at 6:30 for the night and day shifts in gratitude for their kind, professional, expert and loving care given to Debbie and for keeping Herb and I out of trouble. THANKS BETTY! Also, we have an unwanted visitor headed our way. Hurricane Irene in bearing down on the eastern U.S. coastline. Pray she passes us by...... May you all have a blessed day!
