102 1t
Well, wasn't Linda in good spirits today! She wrapped stocking stuffers (for moi!) and talked a lot about what she is going to eat once the feeding tube is removed and we are home in our very own house. She tortures herself by watching the Food Network on tv! Katie (dietitian) gave Linda hope today when she told her that she won't have to do the clear fluids post feeding tube but will advance immediately to mushy food. Dr T and the Team are of the opinion that the fistula is healing (because of the increasing paucity of drain fluid) and have said maybe 2 more weeks - of course, that's what they've been saying since Nov. 15. So we're still taking this day by day. But she does seem much stronger now than at her first discharge on Nov. 12; she climbed the stairs yesterday without huffing or puffing!!

ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear all the positive news. I am sure Linda can't wait to have the feeding tube removed and get some solid food. If they are right about the time line, then maybe you will be home to start the New Year and woulcn't that be so fitting. Here's hoping!!
So great to hear that Linda has been doing stairs and getting up and around, Lorraine. Also sounds like the two of you are in the Christmas spirit . . . all good stuff! Eleanor is right . . . ."get better" is the theme of the next short while. Then it will be homeward bound. Love to you both . . . Kim
