Home from the Hospital

Hi Everyone,

Good news is that Lisa's home!!! She came home last night and got some rest in her own bed along with one dog, three kids, and one tired dad! She's happy to be home and be with family. She still has four drains attached to her until December 17th. The reason is fluids continue to drain from both breasts and both sides of the incision below her belly. She's also very uncomfortable from the reconstruction surgery. Therefore Percoset and bed rest for the next several weeks. She says hello to everyone and appreciates all the prayers and meals! She will call and say hello as she begins to feel better. I'm now understanding the pain she is in from the reconstruction surgery. The body experiences great trauma when you cut and dig muscle and body tissue. Her posture is hunched over whether in bed or standing. It will take her body several weeks to heal and adjust to where she feels comfortable in an upright position again.
Overall though, she's home (Praise God!) and getting cared for by Grandma Kennedy and then Nana Lapierre.

Thanks Everyone!
Tim
