28 hours after surgery....
Hi everyone
Its Rob here taking a break from the hospital at Matai St for dinner. Sue and I have been with Sara for most of the day. It has been an up and down day for all of us especially Sara but we have just left her in the caring hands of my sister Ruth. Ruth practices a thing called "healing hands" and managed to get Sara into a deep sleep this afternoon when she was in quite a lot of pain. She has woken and eaten some dinner and was really chipper for an hour or two. She reached another milestone this evening when she fed herself with her right hand -fantastic!
She is still in the Special Care room but may be moving back to her room tomorrow. Ruth is going to be at her side for the next couple of hours and will hopefully managed to get her back to sleep with her "healing hands."
Just a quick reminder to everyone - Sara is still in the special care unit (rather than her own room) and she has not been cleared for visitors as yet. We know there are a lot of people who would very much love to come and give their support personally, however it is still too early. We are getting lots of big smiles for everyone (as you see from the photos) but it does take it out of her and she needs her rest.
We are all loving all the blog messages (we print them off and take them in for her) and Sara is still getting the texts so that is great - keep them coming for her.
Rob, Sue and Kate

Dear Sara - my second attempt to be a blog commenter. I don't know where the first attempt went. You've extended my comfort zone! By a tiny amount compared with where you have been stretched. It is great to see your alert smiling face post-op and hear how you are doing.
The Young/Crawford whanau are an amazing support team.
Love from us in Sunny Nelson where it has indeed been hot and sunny today.

Hi Sara, Your room looks just like Harriet's i.e. spot the girl amongst the toys! Great to see you smiling and looking great. We're all thinking of you and family. Love and positive thoughts from all of us! Mark, Kate, Harriet & Gus.
