Ten Days

I am sitting bed side to Oksana right now watching her sleep. Next week will be an emotional week for sure. The surgeons have already scheduled the pre surgical tests for next week. She is starting to ask me questions about the operation. We did not even touch on the fact that there would be two more, because up until last week she thought the halo was it. She has accepted the fact that there will be one more and we decided to leave it at that. Next Friday the 28th will be the last big meeting of everyone before her surgery on Monday. If there have been any changes or if the tests next week show a need to modify anything we will be made aware of it then. She now has 11 lbs. of traction on her and is doing well. Last night her left hand did go numb so they are monitoring her more closely today.
  Today is a busy day for us. I was asked to give Oksanas' testimony to 150 people who are the Shiners and other donators to the hospital. It will be nice to be able to share with people how because of them Oksana has a GREAT chance to be well.
    later today my friend kelly will be driving her brothers and sister up to visit and hopefully tomorrow I will get to go home overnight.
