Day 1 out of hospital

Jennie continues to do well today, and got her first good night of sleep since the surgery. We only had to get up for pain medicine 1 time last night, and she was able to sleep for about 10 hours, which I was very impressed to see.

Her blood sugar has been in the low normal range, and she has only had to give herself one unit of short-acting insulin (this is in addition to the long-acting they want her to take every night regardless of where her levels are). I am sure her blood sugar will begin to rise as she eats larger portions and more regularly, but that is why we have to insulin. At this point are more worried about her blood sugar dropping too much overnight than about it getting too high.

We are considering making the trip back three days instead of the two it took to come up here. We are just worried that 7 hours will be too long in the car for Jennie, but we will most likely wait until we start back and see how it goes.
