Mom rested well through the night and she has been fever free since last night! This was an answer to prayer! She will be staying again tonight and the plastic surgeon said he would have to see a big improvement in her breathing capacity with the little "machine" before he will let her go home tomorrow.
He said she will have to be aggressive today to get the lungs cleared up and keep pneumonia away. That is his main concern. She has to stay in a chair all day or walking the halls. She is pretty exhausted and currently taking a short nap, then we will keep pushing her more this afternoon.
Aunt Linda will be staying again tonight, Dad and I will be going to the resort tomorrow to relieve Derek who has been there since Thursday. Michele has also been taking care of the details at the resort yesterday and today and will return back to work tomorrow.
Please pray for Mom's strength, breathing capacity and lungs to all improve over the next 24 hours.
Thank you for your coninued prayers, support and words of encouragement.
God's blessings to each of you,
Teresa

Hello Donna,
Just want to let you know we are all thinking about you and keeping you in our prayers. Cathy brought all her pictures out today so we are reliving our wonderful stay at IdleWilde. Keep getting better!

We are glad to hear Donna is fever free and of her continued progress towards recovery. We hope she had a restful night. The same goes for all her caregivers. All of you undoubtedly need a little rest too. Hopefully Donna’s lungs will clear and she can get the rest of the procedures behind her. Things will never be the same at the Idlewilde until her cheerful voice greets everyone with, “It’s a beautiful day at the Idlewilde!” With Donna’s determined spirit, that will be soon.
