Kat came home yesterday at abut 4:00 pm. I'm sure you'll forgive us for not immediately updating the blog last night ;-)
After being discharged from the hospital at about 2:00, we went directly to the plastic surgeon for a follow up and a bandage change. He said the incisions looked great, and today we will return to see him to get a oupld of drainage tubes removed. (The tubes are sticking out of Kat's side to allow any fluid build up to safe drain out of her into these little collection thingies - that's the modeical term, of course. The tubes are not painful, but they really look weird.)
Kat is not doped up - the only pain medications she wanted was tylenol with codine. This has been adequate for the pain and she does not get the nausea that comes with other meds. She is also enjoying the rest. It's crazy that in a hospital, they wake you up every two hours to check your vitals. Anyway, there will probably be more later today...

God is good. So glad to hear surgery went well. Judy and I have been praying for you all.
Yea! Kat, don't worry, you'll be back to your daily push-up regimen in just a matter of days. ;)
I'm glad you're home and that the pain isn't too crazy. We're all looking forward to hearing from you again. I can't wait to get your take on all that has happened in the last few days. Prayers continue to go up by the truck loads.
I love you!
Amy
