Let me begin by saying that today has been better than yesterday, thank goodness. Jennie is still hurting, but her pain level is back down to the 6 or 7 range it was two days ago. We went for a long walk today around almost the entire 6th floor of the hospital, all of which Jennie did without any assistance (other than me helping keep the IV pole going).
We got to see Dr. Sutherland today, and he thinks that her fluctuation in the blood sugar is due to her not being on constant TPN (an IV feeding), so he wrote orders changing her TPN to a lower but constant dose. He also is going to have an Endocrinologist come in and talk to us about the blood sugar and how to regulate it when we leave the hospital.
Unfortunately Jennie didn't sleep very well last night so she is pretty tired, but I think she if feeling much better. Hopefully we can get some more walking in today and let her get some more rest.
