Friday update on Chrissy

[Guest guest]

Hi all!!

is in room 1071, on the luxurious tenth floor again, this

time in an even larger corner room. She has been enjoying a lovely

flower arrangement of delicate roses sent my an unamed individual, and

was excited to have had phone calls from , Cyndi and .

Having so much contact with her friends from the PAI has meant a

great deal to her and has done much to contribute to her good spirits,

I believe.

She was cheerful and not complaining of too much pain.....as long as

they keep the dilaudid PCA pumping along!! Her doctor's partner came

in with several medical students while I was there and after a short

discussion, she agreed to start Chrissy on some whole food this

evening. Chrissy is hoping to be released on Sunday, but I think the

jury is still out on that, as it will depend upon how well she does

with real food.

I gave her a PAI laminated bumper-sticker for her car, and she was

already talking about copying it and using the logo to put together

some CP information to have available in Dr. Adam's office. Always

thinking ahead......she was very alert and after two hours non-stop

conversation her eyes began to droop so I scooted out of there before

she could think of anything more to talk about.....yet she did have

the last word before I was able to get the door closed!!

She seemed very upbeat and her strength continues to amaze me. I put

my fourth visitor's pass in the glove box and pray that that one will

be the very last one that I ever have to see for Chrissy. Enough is

enough, and I can't think of anyone who needs a break away from

Murphey's Law more than she does. I pray that this will be the very

last time that she has to set foot in that hospital, unless she's

wearing her whites and has a stethascope around her neck!!

With love, hope and prayers,

Heidi

Heidi,

Thank you for the Update on Chrissy, like mark said, HEIDI REALLY ROCKS!!

I'm very glad that she's doing good and like you said, i too wish her progress

on her health that takes her far away from the hospital again. Looking forward

to heaving her message on the board.
