So we got the results from Jennie's noon blood work back, and her Hemoglobin levels have finally stopped dropping, meaning that the internal bleeding appears to have stopped! Her platelet count went up some too, meaning that her liver is functioning properly, which is also great news.
They did have to come in and assess her Central line IV because it appeared that it might not be delivering the medicine and fluids she needed, but they don't think that there is a problem right now and will be monitoring it closely the rest of the day.
We managed to get the sheets changed and to get Jennie moving a little, although she was hurting a lot the entire time. She did say afterwards that she was glad to be on some fresh linens and then proceeded to fall straight to sleep exahusted. Other than having to come and check her blood sugar every hour, she has been sleeping most of the morning and afternoon and appears to be in a little less pain than she was yesterday.
Today has been a great day so far with many of our concerns and prayers having been answered. Jennie is certainly going to have many rough days over the next few weeks, but it is nice to see some progress being made.
