[ David reporting in for Laurie ]
There's not a lot to report today. Laurie is immensely better than she was after her liver surgery. They've got the right mixture of non-narcotic and narcotic meds working for her. She was up 3 times while I was there and had 2 fairly long walks out of those (the first time out of bed wasn't for long or far). There were plans to get her out later in the evening again, but I left around 7:30 or so.
Everything is going along fine. No real food yet and not much of the liquids yet. I suspect she'll start becoming hungry tomorrow. The next major milestone is for her GI system to demonstrate it is functioning (i.e. she needs to fart).
That's all for today....
