8/15/09 3:30 pm

Dad and I visited Mom this afternoon. She started waking up around 6 am this morning and they took her breathing tube out around 8 am. When we got there a little after 1 pm, she was sitting up in a chair eating lunch. She had chicken soup, pudding and the ubiquitous jello.

Dad and I think that she looks remarkably well for someone who just had major surgery. She has some swelling, but not as bad as the doctor had indicated she might. They are saying that she will spend one more night in CICU and move out to a "real" room tomorrow.

My brother Tom and I are planning to visit again at 5, and Dad and Bob are going at 9.
