Day 6-afternon

We are still here at OHSU. Nancy is having probs with getting all systems online. It will happen, but until it does she won't be discharged. She's in a lot of pain with nausea. Dr. Billingsley is significantly reducing the oxycodone which he feels will help get things moving. We will be adding some tylenol.

So its touch and go. We may still be discharged today, but the chances of that are dwindling as the day goes on.

Thank you so much for keeping this blog. Nancy, I've been thinking about you all the time and look forward to seeing you at our desk again soon.
Love, Tamara

You are so right, it WILL happen, just takes time for the body to mend. I am sorry Nancy is having so much pain/nausea ... that is a real bugger and I am sure all of us out here would do anything to wish that away for her. Sounds like OHSU is the right place to be just now ... as much as you all would like to be in your own home and as much as we all want you to be home, we know Nancy is being well taken care of there under watchful supervision.

Sounds like you both could use some good rest. Take care ... and thanks for staying in touch.

Love to you both - Judy

Sorry to hear that you're still there, but it can't be rushed. I wish I could do something more to help you. Love, Susie

Franz...I can tell from the voice I heard yesterday that Nancy's Journey is testing the very fiber of your strength. Put the plane on automatic pilot and lead with love. In the end love is everything...

Hang in there you two!! Lots of love & thoughts are being sent your way. This was a major surgery which takes time to mend from. Be good to yourselves. It is so hard to see someone you love so much in so much pain. I know you Franz, you want to fix it! You are & will by just being the awesome you! NTT

I know you guys wanted to get home sooner, but hang in there, you guys are doing great and you are so strong. God is with you now more than ever and prayers go out to you guys every day.

Love Gina :)
