Day 7

It hardly seems possible that it was only a week ago that we were waiting anxiously while Megan was in her surgery. She continues to battle pain and nausea but we've found that keeping the gastric tube clear and open really helps with the nausea.

Meg is doing really well at moving around but she tires really easily. She had OT this morning and now is sleeping. This is just plain a long process. But I praise God for the doctors and nurses who are getting Megan back to her real life.

Megan's roomie is a young girl who has had a kidney transplant a while ago. Now she is back to the hospital and is facing a kidney biopsy and repeat dialysis. She is all alone and is so sad. Please lift up Karissa in your prayers.

This morning we have an appointment with the dietician at 11. She's going to talk about managing Megan's diet when we begin adding food to the tube feedings. Then at 2:00 we go to a tube feeding class. I figure Megan will be maxed out by the time we complete those two classes.

It feels quite a lot colder this morning and I'm picking up speed on my walking! Desperation will do that to you! We thank you all for your love and support.
