This morning the Doctors came in and removed Jennie's NG tube from her nose as well as the drain from her abdomen, which I know will make her much more comfortable.
Her blood sugar levels are still fluctuating quite a bit, but they said that is to be expected now that she is off the insulin drip and only taking shots to regulate it. They also said that they will be increasing the dose of the long acting insulin some to try and reduce the variances some.
Other than that, they started her on an extra antibiotic for pneumonia, they saw some fluid in an ultrasound they did yesterday and want to stop it before she gets full pneumonia. Her liver function has come back to the normal range, so they aren't as worried about infection but they will still be monitoring it.
Yesterday was the first day that Jennie has actually been awake most of the day, and we got her out of bed several times, including a walk with Physical Therapy around the entire floor of the hospital. Other than that we watched a lot of TV and movies, which she really seemed to enjoy. If fact when we got here this morning, Jennie was already up and watching Finding Nemo with Stitch at her side :-)
