We will not know the test results from the mass and tumor removed from her small intestine until Monday or Tuesday. She's not talking but she did acknowledge and communicate with my mom and sisters through head nods. Long day but my entire family is up there supporting her and eachother. Thank you all again, please keep praying for her. ;>

Originally Posted By trailsend I am praying for your precious Grandma. It's difficult to witness all she is going through but she knows you are there. She knows you are praying. That gives her strength. She knows, without a doubt, how much you love her. Keep telling her, over and over. Touch her sweet hand and be so thankful God has you together. Praise Him for the wonderful Grandma He blessed you with! Your family will be held up in prayer by many!

Originally Posted By amazedncal2 Lisa, thank you for letting us know that your Grandma is. I'm glad that she is communicating although at times that can be sad and frustrating to watch. I'm sure they'll keep her well medicated and resting. Your grandma and your family will remain in my thoughts this weekend.
Originally Posted By Lisann22 It absolutely does tapadancemom. We are only human afterall. ;> Other than through the night, we have 2 at a time in the room with her all through the day and night. We hold her hand, talk to her, sing to her, comb her hair, put a towel on her forehead, rub her legs. Lots of laughing and joking with her. Telling her she's doing good. She knows she loved. :>

Originally Posted By Lisann22 Yesterday was kind of rough. My grandma was a TON more alert but the offset to that was now she could feel her pain. She is still not talking due to discomfort and a very hoarse throat but with head nods we can communicate with her. She was taken off the breathing machine in the late afternoon yesterday and by evening time the only tube she still had in her nose was to drain fluid from the intestine and her oxygen to help her a bit with breathing still. This morning she was moved from ICU to a regular room. She is still in a tremendous amount of pain due to the surgery BUT she is lots better. She actually has some coloring in her face and her eyes are focused. She has a long haul in recovering but for 85 she is doing really well. They are still a bit concerned due to her constant fever and the fact that they did remove a tumor. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So thank you all for your prayers and good thoughts. I'm very grateful. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please keep them coming she's got quite the recovery to still go and we don't have the lab results back yet. ;>

I'll keep some good thoughts for the test results and everything still to come....best wishes!
