Megan is sitting up in a chair. It's good for her lungs and circulation. She's been up for over an hour. Yay, Meggie. The doc gave permission for her to sip water and have sugar-free popsicles. Of course, it will drain right down her gastric tube but it sure tastes good going down! She's getting a behind the ear patch to help with the nausea. She's also getting zofran and phenergan. She's getting some lasix (sp.?). That should help with some of the water she's retaining. After that they are going to remove the catheter. The doctor was really pleased with her progress. As I finish this, Megan has ordered a sugar-free sprite and popsicle. And, she's been sitting for 2-1/2 hours! Yippee!
Yeah!!! Go Megan!

ReplyDeleteGail Devers established a reputation as one of the world's top women sprinters. But a debilitating disease almost ended her career. After setting an American record in the 100-meters in May 1988, she failed to make the finals in the Seoul Summer Olympics. For the next two years, a mysterious ailment sapped her strength, weakened her muscles, attacked her skin, and caused weight and hair loss. The runner feared her feet might have to be amputated. Doctors diagnosed her illness as Grave's disease. Appropriate treatment cured the affliction. Devers returned to her world-class form, winning the 100-meter gold medal in the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. Diseases and illnesses are a part of life. God does not willingly bring us grief but stays by our side when bad things happen. He guides doctors and provides knowledge to researchers. He gives strength - no matter what the circumstances. (John & Kathy Hillman)
