Jennie had a better night once we were able to get her pain medicine increased. The lasix helped to get some of the fluid off, and they will be giving her another dose to try and reduce the swelling even more.
The Doctors came in to day and decided to remove her NG tube since it hasn't produced hardly anything since the surgery, hopefully she doesn't get nauseous with it out. They will also be starting her on TPN today, which is the IV nutrition, and have cut her other fluids back to try and reduce the swelling also.
Rita already had Jennie out of bed when I got here and they had walked out into the hall along with sitting in a chair for a while. I think her progress is remarkable, especially given how difficult the last two surgeries have been. Hopefully we won't face any major setbacks and she will be out of here in a week or so, I know she would much rather be away from the hospital as quickly as possible.
Thanks again for all the prayers, calls, and support. We greatly appreciate it and it helps immensely.
