I talked to Mel late (around 10pm new york time) and she sounded much better. She said Jeanne and Peter had been up and she had a "good talk" with Peter--Jeanne you know what I mean...I know she appreciated his imput--I told her that Peter is so wise...
I can tell things are different with this visit, as Mel is more open now about sharing when she has a bed day--she doesn't "sugar-coat" it for us--and I know I appreciate it. I know it is hard for her to give up that privacy, but it helps us to really understand what she is going through, and I hope it helps her to be able to really share what is going on with her.
She was so smart to have already arranged for this clean-out, as they were more prepared since she "inconviently got sick" right before going in--and she had the TPN ready, so it helps since she has little appetite due to all the coughing.and the headache.
She is looking forward to getting back into the daily routine of the week, since as you all know, week-ends are so different in the hospital...
Her visitors are making all the difference--sure wish I oculd be one of them!
