Update on @CARLA⚡️
She’s still in the ICU and will be until at least Saturday or Sunday, BUT she is improving day by day. She’s been walking multiple laps of the ICU every hour with her walker (and her Walker) and doing breathing exercises.
We also just got the pathology report back on her spleen and it is BENIGN, which is amazing news. It also means we still have no idea why it spontaneously ruptured… we have some theories, but that’s about it. Carla also had her abdominal drain removed today, so she’s a bit more comfortable now. Still in a lot of pain, but that’s natural when you have 40+ staples holding a giant abdominal incision together… She’s managing the pain well and continues to be tough as hell.
She also just got cleared to have some broth (she’s been on sips of water-only this entire time), so this is a welcome change.
But the highlight of the day was when they let her go outside in a wheelchair to get some sunshine and fresh air! (Picture below is just before we went outside)
THANK YOU to everyone for sending your prayers, love, and wishes for a speedy recovery. Carla is incredibly strong, but your support makes her even stronger. She is very grateful for your love and support.
