Day 23 Good morning!

I better hurry, by the time I finish it will be afternoon! I don't know where the morning went. 

I'm telling you.. it's amazing how well she's doing out here.. she feels really good today.. her numbers are up, her spirits are up.. she wishes her weight was down :)  haha.. she weighed herself last night during our walk around and can't believe she hasn't lost any weight.. she thought she'd have lost at least 8 pounds.. she said.. funny mom...
Anyways.. sheila was just in..she thinks mom's a superstar.. she says it every day.. Dr. Wang thinks she's doing perfect.. we can't ask for anything more!!  here's a pic of Dr. Wang.. mom likes her a lot!  We're waiting for her to come in this morning..


We slept a little better last night.. mom was only up 2x's and she was able to fall right back asleep.

Mom's got a little lower back pain, and Im trying to convince her to take a normal dose of pain meds.. she's currently taking like a quarter of a dose and I think she'd be able to sit and rest more comfortably if her back felt a little better... not that it's so bad.. but it could be better!  Sitting up and walking does help, so she's focusing on that!  And the flax bag.. her best friend :) 

So last night she was soooo full from dinner that she could barely move.. and after we got done skyping w dad, jazzy and mary, turned all the lights off and snuggled in for the night.. I heard..."Lee, i'd go for like a 1/3 of a shrimp eggroll... do you want one?"   I said i wasn't really hungry for a shrimp eggroll, but I'd be happy to get her one... she didn't really like that answer so she convinced me that I wanted one, so we settled on spliting one.  she's looking forward to a fried, crispy one instead of a frozen, microwaved one (they do give your jaw a workout!!) .. she said this morning that maybe she'll have me go buy like 10 when she gets home.. I said 10, really?  yup.. she wants 10.  and some fried rice.. she's cracking me up!!

Mom's on the phone with Andrea right now and of all the things she has to be "sick" about, she's so sick that she's going to miss the building of Andrea's house.. she says it all the time.. "I can't believe her house is going to go up without me there...  i just can't believe it"  Like, the builders won't know what to do without her expertise.. I mean, she's been working and managing Dyle for so long, she can't believe another contractor will possibly be able to get everything right without her supervision!!  maybe Andrea can video parts of the process and send it to mom.. or maybe we should skype with the construction site.. that would make mom feel better!! 

Ok, we'll update later.. I'm going to get her in the shower and out in the halls!! not before she puts on a new pair of pj's!!  they think she is just so fashionable around here!!!    

love.
