talked with Dr Pena

Passing time playing "smack the balloon"!!

"I don't want to eat and I don't want you to take my picture"


Talked with Dr. Pena. He said that he is going to be very cautious with her as c-diff is a "very serious and dangerous" bacteria. His concern with her is that she is emptying her colon completely so that the bacteria is being eliminated. That is trickier for us then others as we are not yet sure what it will take to have her empty. They are letting her eat and she is actually hungry and has had 3 meals today. She is not real interested in drinking so they turned off her IV to see if that would encourage her. We will take an xray in the morning to see what it looks like inside.



Jed has as we would say at home "ants in his pants". i sent him away to the movie theater to see the new batman movie. I could tell that he was going crazy! Hopefully that will get it out of his system and he will come back tomorrow minus the ADD!!



Mads and I are going to have a pajama party. The new High School Music talent show starts tonight so we will snuggle in together and watch that.



It has been good to have so much quality time with her....one of the few perks in all of this!



We will let you know what x-ray shows tomorrow!
