Today's update
Fri May 15 2009

Spoke with Vivian (Chaya) this afternoon..  The surgery went well, but she is in a lot of pain.  She has been on Morphine but it was lowering her blood pressure too far so this afternoon they changed her pain medication to Dilaudid; hopefully she will be able to stay on that without ill effect until the pain is under control.  She is still on intervenous meds and feeding and will be until she is able to pass gas; not sure how long that's going to take considering that she's allowed nothing by mouth, not even water.

If anyone wants to visit or call her, she's in Mercy of Folsom Hospital, Room 132B, phone #916-983-7400.  Shift chages are at 7 am, 3 pm, and 11 pm, so try not to call or visit during the half hour before and after that.

    Thank you so much for this update. I wish I could fly right over to Folsom Hospital to be there to look after Chaya's needs. It feels terrible to be here where I am, oceans away from my friend. :o(
