good news to report. mom was pretty out of it for most of last night and this morning, but she's weaned herself off of the morphine and is making some progress. she looks more like mom--and has a bit of her sass back, too. dad offered her a dry saltine (really, she needed to eat it) and she wryly told him to "go to hell". we all took it as a good sign.
she also made it onto her feet. the goal is to get her up and walking a bit more throughout the night. i expect her johnston side--the one that's able to clearly express what she wants--to become increasingly more present the better she feels.
thanks to all for checking in on her and sending healing thoughts.

I'm so glad to see the Johnston Pluck is helping her keep moving.
I'll try to add cute little tidbits about the family for you to read.
Today's cutie tidbit is about our little Kayti. She turned 3 last week so when I put her to bed I talked about how she's 3 years old so she doesn't need to suck her thumb anymore, she can rub her taggie but no sucking her thumb. She looked up at me, scrunched up her shoulders and grinned at me with a secret too big to keep and told me 'I suck my thumb when you go upstairs' :) What a little turkey, haha.
Oh, also if you would like to link to it, I have a blog for my cakes, I'm still trying to add in the old ones and keep up from here on out.

Hi Mom (Diane),
I can already see your inner strength coming through in such a short time after surgery. I am thinking about you and praying for you. I had mentioned to Val that healing occurs quickly within those with a strong mind. I have reason to believe that you will have no trouble at all. I love you and the rest of the Hamm family. My heart is with you all right now. I posted a picture of me with my beautiful niece (Shelby - Michelle's daughter) for you to see. It has really been too long.
Always,
Renee
Who knew a fart could be so exciting? So glad to hear Aunt Di is making progress in her recovery.
I am springing Pat from the Spokane hospital tomorrow. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Make sure she stays on top of her pain as it will help speed her healing. Love you guys!
Aunt Lin
