Quiet Day

Today was a pretty quiet day. Last night her central line that was to make it easier to get all her meds through fell out. They did not want to put another in for some reason - I am thinking because you can only have that type for a short period of time. The TPN nutrition that she gets through her veins is supposed to be 24 hours but now we will have to turn it off whenever she needs the meds. They increased the rate of it so when she is getting it that it will go in more. She was awake again today from 8-4. Jeff brought Preston and Aimee to see her today and she really enjoyed that. We will see this week how much therapists will do with her now that the swelling is down and that she is awake.

Since she will probably have a long road ahead of her according to the doctors and I am guessing a lot of blood work they are talking about putting a port in her which will be under skin in chest to give meds if needed and to draw blood. They will not do this until they know she is stable enough as it has to be done under sedation. Their hopes are that they can do that and the muscle biopsy at the same time.

Thank you for your prayers.
