As you probably know by now, Paula felt good enough last night to get on the computer to write on the blog. This morning she is still doing well, and is awaiting permission to get out of bed and go for a walk.
Katie has been walking up a storm, but is still quite uncomfortable from all of the gas they pumped into her during the surgery. She's been enjoying a breakfast full of liquids and now some saltines. It sounds as if she will now be allowed to eat anything she feels like eating! I'll post a picture once she's eating "real" food.
In other news, Katie has been spending her whole morning between walking and sitting in the chair, so I have taken the liberty of sitting in her bed. I'd hate for it to feel unloved! More importantly, the room is so small that if someone isn't in the bed it's very cramped. My other option would be to sit in the corner (behind the bed, with no view of the TV) or behind the door (where I might get hit by a giant swinging plank of wood)!
Katie is about to have a bath from a bucket (she's hoping for a regular shower soon) and put on some normal clothes (pajama pants, underwear, and a t-shirt). And I'm enjoying a lovely yogurt parfait (that I assembled myself down in the cafeteria this morning) and watching I Love Lucy.
Two days ago at this time I was sitting down in the surgery waiting area, waiting for updates, and Katie and Paula were both in surgery. Now they're both looking great and getting better each day.

Hi Paula,
Been thinking of you and keeping you both in my prayers. We can't access your blog from Swedish computers, but someone brought in printed pages yesterday for us. You look great sitting there working on your computer :)
Things continue crazy as usual in the NICU and ISCU! I know God is providing for you all there in Madison through the wonderful staff. I will continue to pray for healing for both you and Katie and continued strength for Sarah.
Love,
Char
