Recovery Update 2
by nate

Heather is still progressing well today. She's walking around more. The catheter is out and she is off the pain pump. They think she will be discharged on Friday. I checked flights and Tuesday morning is $60 per ticket cheaper than Monday, so we're going to wait until then to fly back to Minnesota. I still need to figure out how we're going to get to JFK. Can anyone recommend a car or limo service?

Hi Heather,it's amazing to me how quickly you are getting up and around- you are one tough cookie!Out on Friday seems so short a time.Nate, I think you should make lots of copies of that picture!Don't forget to eat your oatmeal- and don't try to do too much too soon.Much love,Dad
Hi Heather here's a poem for you- I'm going out to clean the pasture spring;
I'll only stop to rake the leaves away
(And wait to watch the water clear,I may):
I sha'n't be gone long.-You come too.

I'm going out to fetch the little calf That's standing by the mother. It's so young It totters when she licks it with her tongue.
I sha'n't be gone long.-You come too.

Hope you like it!! Glad you're up!!
LOVE CALEB & OTIE!!!!!!!!

What great news! I'm glad you will have some additional time in NY after discharge so you can get stronger before the flight home. Though you will be back in MN ahead of schedule, Baxter won't mind returning from camp a little early.

Nate & Heather,

I'm so glad that recovery is going well! Hopefully the walking will turn to climbing some day soon!! I can't wait to be able to see both of you at another CU reunion atop another mountain in the ADK park! Now that's how to have a picnic lunch!!!

Best wishes on a speedy recovery,
-Matt, Annette, and "Little Miss Wiggles" (coming soon!)

You should be fine taking a taxi out to JFK. Just call a taxi service to pick you up. If Heather needs a wheelchair in the airport I'm sure the ticketing desk can help you. As long as she can transfer into the taxi from the hospital's wheelchair (and you KNOW they're gonna wheel her down in one) and then walk far enough to a chair in the terminal (whilst you get the wheelchair), you'll be okay. Best of luck.

Hi Heather

Hey Heather and Nate, such great news. I cannot believe being released this quickly, excellent recovery on your part Heather. This is a sign of a very strong and determined person. Keep going. See you soon.

I am excited that you are recovering so fast! That is wonderful! I hope you feel well enough to talk soon.

Greetings from Tucson

Heather,
Chuck called yesterday to let us know that you have had this recent surgery. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you in your recovery. From your site it seems as though that is progressing well; you and Nate do an excellent job of keeping things posted and up to date. Steve has been having allergy issues, so that has slowed him down considerably, but they pale in comparison to your recent medical challenges. We just look forward to the day when all this will be forever behind you; there are a lot of people thinking about you and praying for you. Best regards to Nate.
Wishing you a speedy and complete recovery, Steve and Carlinda
