It's 11am Tuesday morning and we just met with Dr. Boachi. He reaffirmed that Mom needs to moderate her pain before leaving the hospital, and said that the likely discharge date will be Thursday (yay!). He also said that she will be fine to stay in the apartment for a week before taking a plane home to Utah, which works out well since we have already reserved an apartment at the Helmsley buildinlg.
The Hemsley building is where Arian, Leah, Duane, Aunt Tricia and I (Kelty) have all stayed while we have been in NY. The Helmsley is technically called the "Presbyterian Guest Facility at the Helmsley tower", but it is much easier to just say Helmsley :). It is located just around the block from the Hospital, so our commute has been a very quick walk. This is the building where mom's apartment is also located.
Mom is sleeping soundly, and we hope that she can catch up on the sleep she has missed every night since the surgery. She was cared for again by her favorite nurse last night from the private nurse services, and that same nurse will be returning tonight. She is still on liquids until her stomach goes down, but is going to the bathroom very often, which is a very good sign.
I read to her the emails that have been sent to: gingerinrecovery@gmail.com, and she has enjoyed them. Dr. Boachi is clearly a very caring and knowladgable Doctor, and it was great to meet with him this morning. Please email at mom's email account to let me know if there are any details that you would like to know about that I've missed. Have a great Tuesay!
