Amber continues to make some progress, but is still struggling with staying comfortable. Today's been a roller coaster of pain control again. She has spurts where she does great and then she goes through periods of pain (like right now). She has eaten some today and has been talking some with visitors. She was very happy to see her best friend and cousin Maddi today, and has been visiting with Christopher the past several hours as well. Her Grandma Tortellet is here as well, and she got to see her Aunts Colleen & Heidi as well as Uncle Jason. The visitors have been good for her because it causes her to move a little out of excitement and the more she moves, the better she's going to feel in the near future (though it hurts her at the present).
Dr. Hillman is on his way up to remove her chest tube which will help her feel more comfortable, though he told me it will "not be well liked by Amber".
Thanks for all of the comments and checking out the blog. I can't beleive it has been visited nearly 800 times in the past 48 hours. Amber is blessed to have the support group that she has from all of you. Jamie and I appreciate it, too. Check out the short video I was able to record of her earlier:
I apologize if you get a not so appropriate video suggestion after watching Amber's video. I don't control that piece. I just played the video and now the recommended video picture is of a half naked cartoon character.
