Over doing it

I just wanted to send a short update this morning to give you a heads up on how Mary Jo is feeling today. She had improved dramatically from Wednesday (surgery) night to Thursday afternoon. This rapid turnaround may have given her a false sense of her actual condition. She was very much back to herself near midday yesterday, talking and joking with the nurses and all the friends that stopped by to see her. We were expecting to be going home from the hospital today since she had meet nearly all the requirements for a discharge on Thursday. I want to thank all of you for lifting her spirits with yours calls, emails, text messages, cards, flowers, candy, gifts and visits to see her. Unfortunately, Mary Jo just being Mary Jo, may have overdone the party hosting a bit for her actual state. She had a pretty tough night last night pain wise. The doctors are hopeful that after messaging the meds and dosages a bit, her pain will be manageable soon. She will be going home today at this point (though that could change). Her doctor just changed Mary Jo's discharge to Saturday. The hospital staff is telling her to just try to get as much rest today as possible. If you would like to see her, it might be best to wait until she gets home and her pain management has improved. I will let you all know when she is released from the hospital and can tolerate more activity. She was disappointed to be told no guests, but apparently that is what is best for here healing at the moment. Please keep her in your prayers.
