Food, glorious food!!! Linda had tasty morsels yesterday at suppertime - 2 spoonfuls of pureed vegie soup and 1 spoon of applesauce. We're sure hoping this is the beginning of the stomach truly working - it sure has been taking its time deciding what will work in there and what won't. All of her supper stayed down and didn't make Linda feel very nauseated. In fact, we're only battling nausea now after those horrid contrast dyes or when she has her 'protein shake' (in thru the gi tube) - thank goodness for anti-nausea meds. And is she ever doing well with her walking - gets out of bed without assistance and is usually waiting (sometimes a bit impatiently!) for me to undo and wrap up all the cords and tubes before we head off down the hall or to the bathroom. Still watching that pesky dehiscing gap in her incision but WBC count is good and hemoglobin too - another part of her body just taking its time to heal.

Hooray! the time waiting for others to get to the hospital is always long. but I bet you are becoming expert at wrapping and storing all those tubes. Kind of like a train, a royal one, and she is a princessable, so.......
ReplyDeleteSteps, steps, steps, keep going. Glad the WBC is good that is a good sign.
Soup . . . applesauce . . . . cookies . . . ! Each day is one step closer to a Hamburger, fries and a drink of Linda's choice! So good to hear the CT scan isn't showing anything worrisome. BIG snow storm here today. Ugh! Hope the sun was shining in Calgary! Miss you both . . .and pooches, too!
