Sheryl’s improving again today. She took a longer walk. Struggling a bit with gastrointestinal things but that perhaps is getting better too. :/
Her parents are in from Atlanta. Her sister Laura from the Bay Area lives here. And Friday her sister Jenny arrives from Chicago. So she’s got the whole family supporting her.
As well as her occupational therapists…
It’s likely she’ll be leaving UCSF medical center on Friday.
Sheryl asked me to give you the update today. She’s tired and trying to stay off screens. This was the day we had anticipated Sheryl would leave the hospital, but some things are progressing a little slower and so it will likely be Thursday or Friday of this week. But each day there is progress. She walked a bit more today. Some digestive issues are clearing up. There’s still some issues with blood oxygen numbers, but that’s well controlled with extra oxygen through tubes in the nose (no idea what that is called).
Sheryl’s surgery is done and everything went as expected, which is great news. She’ll be in recovery for around two hours and then will be in a room. Laura and I will be able to see her at that time.
It’s jeff: Just wanted to provide an update for anyone following the blog. I’ve gotten several texts from UCSF medical center saying “procedure is going well”. There’s not much else to say. It may still be several hours before she is out of the operation. Sheryl’s sister Laura is with me at the hospital.
Sheryl is out of her operation. The doctor said it went well, and as planned. Sheryl will be in recovery room for 1.5 – 2 hours.
UCSF Medical center has been good about keeping me updated on the procedure. Sheryl went in at 7:30. I received a”procedure is going well” text message at 10:00 AM (Pacific Time).
