Well another long day with Andrea has come to a close, we parted for the night and now I am back here at the computer trying to figure out what to post. She had a fairly good day, dialysis this morning, dressing changes, PT etc. She did not stand up today, we'll leave that for tomorrow, had her up in the wheelcoair for 1.5 hours this afternoon. We are trying to keep her awake more during the day hoping that she will sleep better at night. I think I mentioned here earlier that she is on a steady dose of Maxeran, an anti nausea drug and it seems to be helping, she has not really been nauseated the last couple days, which sure make the day easier for her to bear. Not sure if I mentioned earlier or not but yesterday's bilirubin was down to 87, first time in 8 weeks or so that it has been down so far which is excellent. She is drinking a little bit and tonight she had a popsicle, doctor is hoping she will soon eat some solids like pudding, maybe drink milk too. She is slowly getting a bit stronger, and we pray she can continue making steady progress. It is still a long way till she can be released from the hospital.
Goodnight, Maynard
