One day since surgery.



As of this morning, Katie and Paula are both allowed to drink clear liquids (which includes jello and frozen liquids), as can be seen on Katie's extensive tray of liquid products. Also, Katie and Paula are both up and walking again. Today it is going much better than yesterday. Both Katie and Paula have been able to walk to one another's rooms to visit! Katie is exhausted, as she didn't get much sleep last night, but is having a difficult time sleeping today as well.

In the light of day, we have been able to confirm that we do in fact have a view of the helipad from Katie's window. Last night we assumed that was what it must be because there was this one large, rectangular chunk of building that was surrounded by evenly spaced red lights, not located anywhere else along the rooftop.

Katie's second "meal" consists of a cherry popsicle, some chicken broth, a mug of tepid tea, a small bowl of green jello, and two cups of cranberry juice. She seems to be enjoying the chicken broth.
