Improvement, Day two

The usual chaotic morning started before 7 am with two of the surgical team doctors visiting us. They were pleased with Joyce’s progress. Enough so that they said tomorrow she could have something more than ice chips. She hasn’t decided what yet, it is a big decision. They also said to “clamp” (disconnect, but not remove) the ever present NG tube. They ask about every hour if she is nauseous and she is not, but that was true with the other times also. It is the intake that causes all the problems!
She has walked twice and spent quite a bit of time sitting up. She still has enough “wiring” that she needs the nurses to get her up and on the journey. Each time she walks she feels and looks better.
Her blood sugar and other vitals are much better, but of course it is the medication doing it’s job.
