Recovery Day 5

I apologize for not posting earlier, I spent the night with Jennie last night and wanted to wait until we had heard from the Doctor this afternoon before posting.

Today has been another good day for Jennie. She has been moving more, and the pain is still staying tolerable for the most part. She had the catheter taken out yesterday, so she has been forced to get up every several hours, which I think will speed the recovery along.

She has also been allowed to switch over to a full liquid diet, so we are slowly trying Jello, fruit ice, and pudding. So far most of it has gone ok, but she is getting a lot of heartburn with food. We will be taking eating slowly, and the doctors seem pleased with the progress, as are we.

Jennie did pull an abdominal muscle last night when she jerked in her sleep, so that is keeping it sorer than it would otherwise be. There was some talk about switching her over to oral pain meds tomorrow, but we convinced the doctor to wait another day after all the problems we had in March making that transition.

Thanks again for all the prayers and support. All in all it was a good day, and hopefully with a few more she can be out of the hospital!!
