Just spent a little over an hour back there with Lindsay. They put an IV in her hand in preparation to remove her central line.
Her feeding tube is out and she is ordering me around already. She asked for water to drink and when I brought it to her she ordered me to get ice because it wasn't cold enough.
They cleaned around her cath and when they were wiping her mouth later she looked at the nurse and said that isn't the same rag is it? :-)
We are still waiting on the MRI results so they can get her up and sit her in a chair. Looking at her scar from her sternum all the way down to her pelvis I'm assuming that she has little to no abdominal muscles left so sitting will be a challenge but I'm sure one she is up to.
She asked me to read her the cards and comments she has gotten so I'm going to get everything together this afternoon and take it in to her. Little does she know that with all the support she's gotten here and on facebook it may take me most of the afternoon to read it all to her.

You are an amazing young lady and I'm so proud of you. I can't wait to get back to Des Moines and see you again, this time sitting up and speaking. Keep up the good work. I love you.

It is truly an amazing example the strength you can receive from God to have come as far as you have in healing in such a short period of time. You are in our prayers daily.
Keep up the fight and know everyone is praying for your recovery,

Lindsay,
I always knew you were an Awesome girl but what an Amazing woman you have become. You have always had a certain determination about you and it is really paying off right now. You keep fighting with all your might. You are in our prayers and thoughts constantly. God does work in misterious ways and we are so glad he does. Hugs to you, Mom and Dad Wegele
Heather,
You have been doing a wonderful job at keeping everyone updated on Lindsay. We want to thank you for that. It really helps to keep in touch and you or your parents and Tim having to repeat over and over. Hugs to you also. Judy
I love that Lindsay still has a wicked sense of humor through all of this. I pray that she gets through this recovery swiftly and with as little pain as possible!
And Lord, I pray that all the hospital staff she comes into contact with have just as good of a sense of humor (especially with the comment about the rag! :D)
