Gassed up and celebrating!

Joyce started the day with a liquid diet. Cranberry juice, and jello!
Not just jello, terrible, terrible jello!! Joyce said I can't even talk about it.
BUT the day got much brighter when her body came alive and She got Gas!!
So finally she was able to start on a regular food diet. She was also able to shed all of her tubes, both IV and drug. She no longer is "hooked up."
She gets her pain killers by mouth every four hours and it is working fine.
She also sat in the chair 4 times and walked 4 times. The last two walks were just with two of us at her side for support. Getting back into bed is a little hard, but getting better each time.
Again, I am amazed at her progress!!
We will see the Doctor tomorrow morning and find out more about chemo therapy and when she can come home.
Thank you for your thoughts and prayers, please don't stop!
Doug
