Hey everybody! Vanessa here! Still at the hospital but Billy brought up the laptop and there is wireless internet here, so thought I’d check in. :) I’m feeling great and doing good, and it looks like Billy has been posting some updates, so you probably already knew that.

Some good news is that I might be able to leave tomorrow!! Dr. Sillins was very pleased with how I was doing and how I am recovering, so if all goes well tonight, I might be outta here soon! I get to walk around later and move around a little, so that will feel good to stretch my legs.

I’m still super tired since the nurses are constantly coming and going in my room, and because these lovely drugs make me sleepy. I’m looking forward to getting a better night’s sleep when I am at home. :)

I guess that’s it for now. It’s been good to be able to do a normal thing like posting updates, so I know I’ll be 100% soon! :)

As always, thanks for all the prayers, flowers, and support. Hopefully next time I update, I’ll be home. :)
