Day 12 evening update

So Jennie still continues to do well and they will be discontinuing her TPN when the current bag finishes in an hour or two. This will mean that the only thing the IV is being used for is the antibiotics, and I think those will be stopped within the next day or two. Hopefully she will begin to get an appetite and we can actually try something other than cheerios and apple juice tomorrow.

I also have an update on Charlotte, she has been out of surgery since about 7pm. They were able to get a good islet cell harvest, so hopefully that part of the surgery will be very productive. Unfortunately she had a lot of damage to her intestines and colon, and they had to remove a portion of both. She will be going down to the ICU floor tonight, although they haven't said exactly where at. John said that they had anticipated some type of problem like this due to several surgeries she had previously, and every other aspect of the surgery did go pretty well. Needless to say though, Charlotte could use a lot of prayer as the surgery is now over and she will begin the recovery process.
