Willie back again with the latest (2:35pm EST 5/1)...
Debbi continues to amaze us with her progress. Huge difference in less than 24 hours. Initially we expected her to be moved from "Recovery" to a room, but there wasn't a bed available so she stayed there all night. In fact, we're awating her arrival in NICU (13th floor) as I type this. Although there's a lot of activity in Recovery, most of which doesn't promote sleeping, I believe the care she's receiving is by far the best in any one area of the hospital. She's experiencing some bobble-head-like sensations, but I imagine this will pass over time.
The staff here is great and attentive and for those who will be following in Deb's footsteps, feel confident that you've made the right decision in choosing NYU. And, for those who can't go a day without a jolt of Starbucks, the closest one appears to be at 33rd and 2nd, across the street from the Borders book store.
Once we get Debbi into a room, I'll read to her all of your comments. Go figure, you really can't get a pair of reading glasses on with the "hat."
I continue to share your good thoughts with Debbi and it has brought her great comfort in knowing you're all out there cheering her on.
Take care,
WAB
