Day 14 I can’t believe it, sometimes it feels like it flies, other times it seems to drag. This morning was the first morning with no vomiting, our big celebration was the bowels have began to move so the abdominal cramping is improving in that aspect. The hematoma in the abdomen around the gastric tube is very uncomfortable with every movement so walking is slow but very needed for healing and strength. The gastric tube is still occasionally obstructing but the RN’s and myself are diligent in flushing. With intervention radiology the radiologist will be able to retrieve what is a possible obstruction in the tube. The Dr.’s will be watching. Good news today, her blood sugars are beginning to show that her Islet cells may beginning to kick in so the Lantus which is your long lasting insulin was reduced, this is huge. Thanks for all your continued support and prayers, there is strength in numbers. God Bless!!!! Beth
