Welcome to the Battcher-Malchow Medical Clinic!

It's not too bad now that we are somewhat oranized, but the amount of stuff they bring us for doing the IV is mind-boggling. Plus, we decided we needed a hospital bed, it's much better for Joyce to have her head elevated. But even more crazy is all the stuff that gets used up each day.

Joyce has been very tired again today. Happy to be home, but just pooped out!
Yes, a little movement down there, but no celebration.

A little story. We were suppose to get a nausea medication that dissolved in the mouth, so she wouldn't have to take it with water. We did not get it at check out, so we asked our health care nurse to get it for us. She did her best, but could not get a prescription from the doctor. Joyce was on the phone with the Nurses organization and got promises but no results. About 5:20, as a last resort, I went to Walgreen's and got the right person, she made two phone calls and had the doctor paged, and 2 hours we had our medicine! Fantastic.

We are getting settled in with a different routine than before, and that we hope changes back pretty soon, so I may not be sending a message every day now.
I am also hoping the "happening" happens soon so JB can start eating and get her strength back so she is able t0 have visitors.

When things happen I will let you know.

We continue to need your wonderful words of wisdom and powerful prayers that keep us going every day!

Doug
