Angel Report - Vickie's Intestinal Activity

[Guest guest]

I spoke with Vickie this morning and she sounded tired, but still

optimistic. Since her second surgery Vickie has progressed to sipping

water and has had no nausea or vomiting. She has a better painkiller,

and has done some walking today, but her stomach is quite sore, of

course.

She particularly asked that I announce the following: she has--oh, I

hate to say it, it seems so vulgar, but of course angels must do as

they're told--she asked me to tell everyone, particularly Kris, that

she finally (drum roll) farted. Tah da!

I know you all join me in congratulating Vickie on this milestone. I

trust that this is just the beginning of many exciting and memorable

lower GI moments.
