Update

Apparently Dr. Sutherland was so upset about the events that he decided to come down here today on his day off and stop in to check on Jennie. He came by a few minutes ago to see exactly how Jennie was and reiterated to us that he could increase the pain medicine if need be, and to just let the nurses know because he would make sure the orders were put in if she needed it.

I can't help but be grateful that Jennie is in the hands of such a skilled and compassionate surgeon. I don't know too many doctors that would actually take the initiative to come in on their day off, especially after having a very long day yesterday (and I am sure the rest of the week).

With that being said, I think that Jennie's pain is a little better this afternoon, she seems to be sleeping more soundly. The nurse also gave her a dose of Ativan, which is an anxiety medicine that seems to be helping her relax and sleep better. The lasix seem to be getting some fluid off, however she is still very swollen.

Please continue to pray for Jennie, hopefully she will continue to make progress and the pain will stay under control.
