Recovery and contact

Kathie spent quite awhile in the recovery room. 1) She was a little nauseous and 2) they were short on rooms and struggling to find one for her. Bob and Lauren finally got into a room with her around midnight. Lauren stayed overnight with Kathie on a luxury pull out chair. In all honesty, it was better than she was expecting. They even supplied a pillow and sheets!

Kathie has a first class room with waitstaff that checks on her every need every 2 hours (whether she wants them to or not) ;) Seriously though, she has a private room - all the rooms at M.D. Anderson are from our understanding. She has an attached bathroom with a shower and there's a little closet in the room for her stuff. Kathie did get visits every 2 hours from various nurses and then around 8:30 this morning from Dr. Rodriguez. Overall, she's doing really well. Once she got back to the room, she had no nausea and slept well.

We finally have info if you want to send anything. We think this will get it to her:

Kathleen DuCharme
1515 Holcombe Blvd
Floor 11 Room P.1106
Houston, TX 77030

Please let Kathie initiate phone calls if she's up to it - she didn't get to sleep a whole lot last night, so she'll be napping off and on today.

Love to all!
