TG and just wrapped up a walk around this side of the hospital floor. We bumped into Nurse K (no, not that one, the other one) and Nurse Y, both of whom were thrilled and excited to see her up and walking around. Nurse K said she would stop by a little later this evening to say hello and get caught up.
TG has made some good progress in the past couple days. She’s been cleared to start advancing her diet some at the nurse’s discretion, and they made the decision tonight to move her onto more of a BRAT diet. She’s munching on Honey Nut Cheerios now, and she said they never tasted so good. The nurses also disconnected the IV drip, so she needs to drink more fluids… hopefully that will also encourage things to get going.
We’re very quickly getting to the end of our stay at the hospital, and it couldn’t come soon enough for any of us. We were hoping today would be the last day, but she’s not quite there yet. Hopefully tomorrow morning we’ll get the green light to go home, and then the mad dash will be on. DW already took a bunch of things out of the room so we don’t have quite so much in the morning.
More good news: with TG getting up and moving around more, they don’t need to make her move position in the middle of the night. Looking at her med schedule, she might get a run of uninterrupted sleep from 11 to 3ish in the morning. It’ll be the longest she’s slept without disruption since a week ago Monday. Here’s hoping.
It’s all good stuff… I, for one, welcome a return to some semblance of normalcy 🙂
Last but not least, TG says she’s not quite up to dictating a post until after she gets home. So, it might be a couple more days before you get to hear from her.
