Though she had a some trouble with nausea last night and ended up throwing up in her bed, Heather is doing quite well today. She has taken a shower two days in a row, which is really nice for her. She looks great and seems healthier and stronger every day. Though her back is still painful, it seems to be calming down. She has been walking more each day (with the help of a walker). She seems more like herself to me. They have begun talking about her discharge. They are tentatively aiming for December 17th, but she may be able to leave sooner. Heather is excited about this, but also quite nervous. She still feels weak and vulnerable, and it is scary to think about not having all the support she currently enjoys.
One more thing. Heather got her catheter out today. It is wonderful to see one more tube go. I think they take it out so that Heather has to get out of bed a couple of times per day.

We are so glad to hear you are progressing and yet another tube is GONE! Yeah! We can't wait until we have the opportunity to come and visit; hopefully next week! :) We think about you everyday. You are such good friends. Tanner and the rest of us were glad for an opportunity to serve your family with dinner. But....it is just not enough. Please let us do more. :)
Keep moving and getting stronger and healthier so we can see you back among us...the strange ones. :) hee hee Lots of love, The Wilcox Family
