Day 5

Megan continues to battle pain and nausea. It seems like the G-tube gets clogged up and this muck sits in her stomach. Once we can get it to drain it relieves some of the nausea. They now have the feeding rate where they want it to stay. The next step will be to go to subcutaneous insulin. We will need to learn how to regulate the food and insulin. This part is a little scary. But, we'll listen and learn.

Meg was able to walk today! She worked with the OT and did arm exercises. Then she went on loop down the hall.

Gradually, (really gradually) she is becoming less bloated and swollen. Once that happens she'll be a lot more comfortable.

I went to a very nice Ash Wednesday service at the chapel. We are making baby steps each day. Thanks for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers.
