Michelle spent the morning with Cheryl while I got another several hours of grandkid loving in. Jason and Sharon came in shortly after lunch and I came back up around 1 PM.
Cheryl looks like she is feeling 100% better than yesterday. She alternates between lucidity and incoherence when her meds kick in. When she is awake, she is reasonably conversant. She did perk up for her visitors today.
This afternoon, the nurse bathed her and changed her bedding and gown. They used this time to get her sitting up in a chair about 45 minutes. In the nurse's opinion this was a major milestone and should help prepare her for standing and walking the halls with the Physical Therapist in the next few days.
Her oral temperature is slightly elevated and she feels very warm on her extremities. We are using cool cloths on her legs to help make her more comfortable. She continues to have the NG tube and is having occasional bouts with nausea. On her 5PM vitals check, pulse is 187, BP 146/91.
Thank you for your continued prayers, cards and visits. We look forward to getting Cheryl well enough to begin the next stage of her treatment in a few weeks.
Good news! I'm so relieved. I've been in prayer for her on and off throughout the day. God grand continued strides toward recovery.

Leaving town for a week and will not be at a computer. However; I will be in prayer for you, Cheryl, and your precious family.

In His presence is fulness of joy. The joy of the Lord is my strength! May you experience His strength and joy as you journey through this trial.
