Still doing great... a very short update:

Stacey continues to do phenomenally.  Dr. Soukiasian came by this afternoon and pronounced her "a champ!"  He is so proud of how hard she is working and says that if all goes well, she might be home as early as next Tuesday. 

Today was a physically draining day for Stacey.  As the anesthesia wears off more and and she recovers more she is becoming more aware of her pain and the frustrations of some of her limitations.  So while this is hard for her to deal with and hard for those of us who love her to watch, it's such a good sign of recovery.  It means that she's getting well enough to be bothered by all this.  Again, great news!

She continues to walk, practice her breathing exercises, and follow the doctor's directions religiously and she looks better every time I see her.  Her energy is up a bit and she seems able to sustain it for a bit longer today.  She's also beginning to remember events better. 

Her grit along with your prayers and thoughts are a tough combination - and they're working:
