Nicki had a much better day today. Her pain was much more manageable. She's using her pain med button evey 8 minutes with an additional shot every 2 hours but it seems to really help. She sleeps sitting up if at all. I hope she gets some sleep tonight (me as well).  It has rained so hard here that it is flooding in places. The news said that some areas would get a foot of rain. We are nice and dry up on the 6th floor.  Nicki met her goal of 3 laps around the floor throughout the day today. Still working toward those stomach sounds so she can have some chipped ice and get the tube out of her nose. The tube in her nose that goes to her stomach is still draining a lot and they want to see that decrease before taking it out as well as stomach sounds.

Thanks for your prayers.
