Quick Update

There will be more to post later tonight but for the time being this is what I know. The Doctors were in this morning and Dr. Jordan's partner on call was happy with the way things were going. Dr. Shale's partner, who helped with the surgery, was in and removed the ace wrap from her chest. He was happy with the look of the incisions and the swelling. She took the first look and handled it well. He approved a shower (that should have made her pretty happy, I know how that girl loves a shower!) and placed some clear protective covers on the drains. They have been approved for release so they will be home sometime later today.
I know that everyone is wanting what is best for Melissa. We need to keep calls to the bare minimum. Please leave questions, well wishes, and messages of encouragement on the blog or FaceBook for one of the family members who can relay messages. There can be NO VISITORS! This is not meant to be harsh, it is just important for her optimal healing environment. The Relief Society has planned meals to take in, if you are wanting to offer help of some kind I will check on the best way to do that. Melissa, Tyler and the kids want you all to know how much they appreciate and love each of you, and thank you for your part in her recovery. ~ Nicole
