I'm SORRY this update is so late in the day, I honestly have been trying to call the hospital for the last five hours and couldn't get through.
Well, I now know WHY. It would appear the cute lil' culprit was none other then Mel's dad, who was staying with her this afternoon and had the lap top plugged into the phone line. He said that Mel has already fired him twice today as a 'wannabe helper' so it would appear she's back to her feisty self?
Mel sounded like she was in very HIGH spirits. The doctor has her walking a minimum of ten different times today and as of 3:00 this afternoon, she's already completed 5 of those walks (complete with her bright rainbow colored fuzzy slippers) . She's already had her Upper GI test to check for leaks and every thing has come back EXCELLENT!!! They have her drinking water, 8 oz every two hours, which she's managed to keep down with no problems.
Currently, her release day is still scheduled for Friday morning.
She says to tell everyone HELLO and she misses all of you (she also mentioned how much she missed her kittykat, but I don't have the fur-balls email address, so it'll be up to the family to pass that message on).
