Post Surgery Update

Caitlyn had a pretty good night. She got some good sleep and so did Steph. Caitlyn is in a lot of pain today because the Anesthesia and other pain medicine from her surgery is wearing off. So they are keeping her comfortable. When Matt walked in the room this morning Cailyn smiled and said "Hi daddy"! The doctor keeps telling them that we have to take this minute by minute, hour by hour and day by day. Steph is feeling good about Caitlyn's responses and understands that we will not have all the answers right away. The doctor has ordered an MRI for later afternoon which will provide more information. Tonight her and Matt are going to get a chance to go have dinner together while Steph's parents sit with Caitlyn.

Steph has been receiving an enormous amount of phone calls and text messages. She appreciates all of them and is overwhelmed with every one's love. However, she has asked that we give her and her family some space right now to focus on Caitlyn. Her request is that everyone uses this blog to send messages to her right now. Over the next few days and weeks, when she has time, she will be looking here for love and support from everyone and will enjoy reading the comments. If you have questions, please post them here or feel free to send me an email.

Also, many of us want to know how to help so I asked her. Right now the best way to help would be to have "good" food delivered to them. The hospital food is not that great and since they are only getting to eat sometimes one meal a day, it would be nice to have a good one! There are several restaurants close but it is hard for them to leave the hospital. I have found online a company called Restaurants on the Run http://www.rotr.com that will deliver food to them. If you are interested in this, please contact me for more information.

Again, thank you for your care and concern.

Love, Mikkel
