Aloha everyone. What a day it has been. Mom had a very rough day today, due to the hallucinations from the pain medicine. Fortunately, her pain has subsided and they took her off the narcotics and are just using Tylenol. She is responding well and was pretty comfortable when we left the hospital about 30 minutes ago. She should have a much needed good nights rest.
On the positive side, her surgery this morning was successful and the doctors are saying that she might be discharged in the next few days. Of course, she has to get over the hallucinations first, but otherwise she is recovering quite well. This hospital is simply amazing. The nurses and doctors are truly remarkable. They even join us in prayer when mom asks them to.
The weather here is great. Although we are indoors most of the time, we do get a chance to get some sun. It is in the 80s here with a nice breeze that makes it very comfortable. Quite a difference from the weather here in December. But no matter what, Hawaii is the best place on earth. Maybe we can get Mayo to open a Hawaii clinic. That would be great. Wishful thinking.
Anyway, I'll end here. We need to get some rest ourselves. Again, we want to thank all of you for your thoughts and prayers. I am hopeful that we will be bringing mom back to the hotel soon. Your prayers have helped and we love you all. Take care and God bless.
