I Can't Believe...

...We're in the middle of day five.
Today has been good so far. The good nurse is back, Stephanie was very alert and has started writing to us, and she was sleeping very well on the second visit. Dr. Pou put in a drain between her flap and tongue to see if there is anything that needs to be drained down there. This was just before our first visit. Still no word on the pathology report. The second visit Stephanie's temperature had gone down significantly, it's hovering right around 100 now. The infectious disease doctor said the fever may be caused by morphine too, so they've put her on a different pain killer. Her urine looks much better, last night there was blood in it, but today it is clear. Apparently the catheter got bumped when they were moving her at some point last night.

We are glad to hear that things are better tonight.Now that stephanie is getting more alert maybe she help you with your reading. We saw jessie tonight, at her brothers wedding, i had to wear the jewish benie at the reception ( don't dwell on that mental picture to long) because of the sabbath. It was an interesting wedding. Jessie says hi.
