We are all happy to have the first night after surgery behind us. Molly's epidural has been doing a very good job of managing her pain. She is still having some pain at her neck from where the port was placed, but the pain management this time around has been quite good. Unfortunately she had some nausea and vomiting yesterday, which made for a fairly restless night. We are feeling so thankful that her pain is being so well managed for the moment. She will hopefully have the epidural in until sometime tomorrow, unless it stops working, so we will keep our fingers crossed that the next 24 hours look similar to last night (minus the nausea).
She ate a little something this morning, which is a very good sign. I am really hoping she will get some rest today.
She has loved the stories that people have sent in about naughty/silly things people have done or their kids have done - keep them coming :).
She is impressing the staff here with her positive attitude and has been told how brave she is on many occasions :).
More updates to come...

Hello from the K Crew.
Glad to hear surgery and 1st night post-op went OK and are over! We are thinking of you all and sending positive thoughts out to Omaha.
Here is a joke from Victor at dinner last night:
Vic - Hey Dad. Did you hear that joke about a virus?
Carmin - No.
Vic - Oh, that's good. Keep it from spreading.
Then Hope piped in:
Hope - What did mommy egg say to baby egg?
Vic/Audrey - What?
Hope - Get crackin'!
(Followed by Hope laughing hysterically at her own joke ...)
More later :)
