Staking Her Claim


We had Dr. Clary come by and talk with us about Kenan's progress.  He is very happy with her recovery progress so far.  Her lab tests came back and both blood count and liver function look good.  He doesn't want to push her too hard, so she might be walking around the hall tonight but most likely tomorrow. 

We were able to move her out of the bed to my bed from last night (recliner).  Just with that move involved some pain and energy.  She had one of the IV areas removed out of the back side of her hand.  She is able to drink small sips of liquids now every half hour.  We got her a glass of apple juice that we are trying to keep her from chugging. 

She did want me to say that the day nurses do not seem to be on top of the ball as much as the night time nurses.  The IV machines keep beeping and it takes the nurses anywhere from 5-7 minutes to stop the beeping (very frustrating).  Of course this is our first time recovering in a hospital from a major surgery, but it isn't a relaxing environment that we were hoping for. 

Beautiful flowers have been arriving (Thank You!) but we are running out of room with everyone stopping by.  Might be time to get a hotel room to keep everything and a place to shower.
