Day 8 of Recovery

Again today Jennie is doing pretty well. The doctors came in this morning and told us they are pleased with her progress. While some have recovered quicker, she also has had no real complications aside from the mystery infection that she is on antibiotics for.

The doctors have also ok'ed her to try a clear liquid diet, which is the first step towards getting her back on regular food, and one of the biggest hurdles left. She continues to walk several times a day and is spending a good portion of the day out of the bed and in the chair. She is very tired today, but we wore her out pretty good yesterday and the doctors said energy will very greatly until we get her insulin shots more stable.

That is probably the other difficulty we have had, is that her blood sugar has been high much of the last day and a half since we started the long-acting shot instead of the IV. Again though the doctors say that it will take several days to get it regulated, and when she starts on solid food it will begin to vary again, all of which is normal.

Keep Jennie in your prayers, hopefully recovery will continue to go well and we can get her onto solid food in the next few days.
