Joyce is up and around!

Joyce had a relatively good night. They have taken her off the morphine and I think that has now eased her migraines that she has been having. She also was having some fluid buildup and that has also been considerably better this afternoon.
Just as I was coming down to use the available terminals to update this blog, they were having Joyce walk the hallways. Then they took her for a session with fellow heart patients to discuss what to do/not do when she goes home.
She hasn't eaten solid foods as yet and there has been no discussion as to when she might go home. I'm fairly sure it won't be for a couple more days at least. She looks good .. great color .. excellent heart beat .. and she is starting to feel like she is on the mend!
She still hasn't seen your comments but I'm sure she will enjoy reading them when she can. Thanks again for all your prayers.
God Bless! Art

Hi Joyce! SO glad to hear that you're up and moving around. No solid foods yet? You better not show up at WW on Thursday to weigh in!! :) (although, with my luck, I would of somehow managed to gain a pound or two!!)
On a serious note, we are praising God for all that He is doing for you! We're continuing to pray for His Blessings to continue to flow upon you!
Take care!
