In the Chair!

The nurse tells me that Ingrid spent some time in her chair yesterday. That's great news! (She wasn't reading yet, and many of you know that this is the true indicator that she's feeling better..) But moving to the chair is a good sign. If you are trying to call, call the main Providence number, ask for the Renal Care Unit, and ask the nurse to help you talk to her. She doesn't hear the phone.

If you come by to visit, and she is asleep, go ahead and wake her, unless the nurse tells you not to. She sleeps A LOT. She will want to see you, so try awakening her, even if you only can speak with her for a short time.

Other Henke Happenings? School began today! Katie is in her 4th grade class, and Jake had his final first day of school; he's psyched to be a senior. Wow! Where did the time go?

Late night edit:

I spent some time with mom this evening. She was alert and talkative (relatively) and seemed to be feeling stronger. She said her leg was feeling better, and, in fact, the surgeon came by while I was there, and he looked at the wound and said she is healing quite well. Half the staples should come out next week.
