This is Lynn again.  Updating for Ellen.  She is recovering nicely.  She is hoping to go home today, Doctor had not been in to see her this morning to confirm this.  She is ready to step out of the hospital and take on the challenge of recovery at home.  She is being a trooper and off all narcotic pain meds as of this morning.  We will see if that will last.  She is hoping to just be able to manage her pain with Motrin.  Her bowels are awake and working now, which happened yesterday and that is great news.  She is walking more and more each day, 40 yards or so, but she is able to get up and back to the restroom without assistance.  Your thoughts and prayers have been greatly appreciated.  She will be updating her blog once she gets home.
