Saturday morning was a little rough for Colleen. On Friday in the hospital, before she was released, Colleen had an allergic reaction to the pain medication administered to her. The reaction consisted of extreme itching and a rash from her drain tubes on the sides of her body. She switched medications and was given something to alleviate the itching before she was released. We think coming off all the medications caused her some bad nausea Saturday morning. This was coupled with the process of dealing with a pretty horrible experience when getting her iv before surgery as well as issues with the anesthesiologist. Both of the situations led to significant anxiety.
Once we got that under control, the rest of the day was good. She took some little walks, showered, and she is dealing with the surgery really well. We spent some time resting and relaxing with her family. Her mom, her aunt Erin, and her sister have been a tremendous help in Colleen's recovery.
By Sunday Colleen was doing really well. Not surprisingly she is a little tired. We have made the short journey back to our home in Morris and are resting comfortably. We both miss the kids and are looking forward to my parents bringing them home tomorrow.
Thanks again for all of the texts, phone calls, cards, packages, flowers, prayers, and thoughts.
Love,

It's so good to hear that you are home. I'm sure it has been really hard to be away from Leo & Violet. It will be the best medicine to see them tomorrow :-) Sleep well...
