    Update on Storm.......

    Lindilou asked me to post an update about Storm for her. She is busy with her little hero right now but wanted everyone to know asap how Storm is doing after her 3rd surgery. (This was her last surgery for this round, in time she will require other surgeries that Lindilou can explain when the time comes). I've posted the e-mail that she sent to everyone she has been e-mailing. 


    From Lindi:


    Hey all...our girl is safe and sound in ICU since @ noon and is doing very well as she is very pleased to have it done...she gave me this HUGE smile and squeezed my hand when she saw me and I knew right then that she is going to be good and very good. She is on recuperation mode now and sleeping as she is really very, very tired, exhausted more like.
    I just want to thank you all for your support, your love, your advice, your care, interest, concern and notes of encouragement...all wanted, all necessary and I thank you from my heart. I wish you all peace and love and will keep you variously posted as to her condition throughout the coming days.


    By the way...when she came to in the op room she first asked the Doc if there had been any complications and then thanked him after he said everything went extremely well. Everyone in the surgical team has fallen in love with her...can't blame them really...she is adorable....
    Here's an old pic from a few months ago...just one of my very favorite people on this Earth...

    Storm is doing so much better...yes! She's able to sit with help on the edge of bed and stood up but had to sit back down...she needs to get back her centre of gravity! She wants to walk tomorrow and she is being weaned off the morphine using other anaelgesics...she looks great and is watching a flik just now!! xo LL

    Our prayers are working. So glad she's doing better ♥ ♥ <---- love for Storm from aka members
    lindilou

    Yes prayers are powerful good at akaQA...awesome good mycatsmom!! She is doing so much better every day..we had to stop her from overdoing it today...which is good as she doesn't need a setback...she understood and agreed to settle back and take it easy...she wanted to sit upright for much longer today but we couldn't let her...she is awesome! ;)

    Great news and all the best for a good recuperation and a happy homecoming!

    You really do need to take care of you. I know it is difficult, when so stressed over a loved one.

    I have this pal named insomnia and I'm not real big on destroying my liver...yet, as I plan to start drinking booze again on my 80th...maybe...or peyote and maybe just some tequila...ariba!!! Actually I can pretty much think myself into an hallucination at this point sistah! zzz....zz..mrph...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

    Continued prayers for continued recovery. Hang in there, lindilou; you are both in our thoughts!

    lindilou

    Thanks Bob after a hellu week she is so much better and wants to stand tomorrow...good things yay! xo LL
    Bob/PKB

    No doubt she will stand tall! Hugs to you both
    lindilou

    Okay Bob...listen to this..today her big sis sat next to her on the bed to help steady her and help her to locate her new centre of gravity, which is quite high up now on her chest..in any case, she suddenly looked at her sis and said "Holy crap Breeze, I'm looking at your face instead of your boobs!"...and then she nearly, just nearly started crying but instead looked up with the biggest grin at Breezy and said "Well hello there Breezy's face, gee I can see your nose!"! We just laughed our heads off. xox LL ;D

    Aww that's great news Lindilou! Your girl is on the road to recovery. Wish her well for me.
