So again Jennie has made some good progress today. It is now about 4 pm and she has already gone for 3 walks, and I am sure we will get one more in today. Her blood sugar has been better today, and she has been up out of bed most of the day so far.
Unfortunately we did find out that they found MRSA in one of her samples, but we really aren't too concerned about it, that culture was from early in the week and she has been on Vancomycin since then that should have taken care of it. They will check it again, but we think that may have been the coughing she was having.
The doctors also talked about trying to get Jennie off of the IV pain med and back onto oral meds within the next few days. The only problem is that she hasn't really experimented with anything other than water, so we have tried some Jello and Apple Juice today to see how that goes.
Now let me explain real quick why the blog hasn't been updated all day. Yesterday afternoon some wonderful little thug broke into Rita's Van and stole the GPS, leaving the drivers side window shattered all over the place. We were really very lucky that there was nothing else taken, her camera and several other valuables were in the back seat. So this morning Rita was having to deal with getting that taken care of and I was by myself here at the hospital (go figure I ran out without the laptop). All is taken care of now, but it just made one more thing for us to have to deal with.
