Brief posting

All,

I'm too tired to really write so just briefly (I'll post again tomorrow):

* Paola's doing well. She's still drowsy from the anesthesia, and she's in pain. To control the pain, she's taking lots of morphine. She has a fever, which none of her doctors find alarming or surprising. She's on a broad-spectrum antibiotic just to make sure that nothing is infected.

* Paola has requested that nobody call her or visit tomorrow. When she feels ready for visitors, I'll pass along the word.

* She got to see her mom and brother today. Her mom is spending the night tonight.

* Paola's seen her surgeons, and they are pleased with her recovery.

* Paola has been allowed to start taking clear liquids. She was very excited about this, as she'd been mighty thirsty.

More later (i.e.. tomorrow). Goodnight!
