We were able to set a plastic chair in the shower that has an extra long hose on the nozzle and she was able to get cleaned up and actually washed her hair with water for the first time in two weeks. She has taken several walks around the house and several lengthy naps. I've taken care of Cheryl's remaining (pancreatic) drain three times since we came home and she hasn't complained about her care yet. We are trying to put her feet up when she is not walking around so the swelling will go down. The skin on her feet is showing some signs of cracking. I'll have to keep an eye on this to make sure that she doesn't get an infection.
I will be staying home with Cheryl for the rest of this week. Over the next several days we can begin coordinating with others to drop by and help her get lunch and check up on her during the day next week. If you call and go to voice mail, we are either talking with someone else or we might be attending to her needs. We will call back as soon as we are able.
Continue to pray for Cheryl to keep gaining strength and for the swelling in her legs and feet to subside.
This sounds as well coordinated as everything you do Jud. I've hesitated to call because I don't want to bother you Cheryl if you're resting. I want to help out some so I'll call today and get on the list to come bring a meal or whatever you need. Love you guys and praying daily.
