Goundhog Day

Seems to be the same stuff another day. Good news is that all the tests continue to come back within normal ranges.  Her spinal tap was good, all the blood and other fluid draws show nothing of significance.  Her belly is still swollen and tender.  They talked about doing a CT Scan.  To do that they would have to move her downstairs and they are worried about that and the noise from the scan and the effect on her ears.  The surgeon that did the surgery on her stomach is very much against the scan.  He feels she has a small opening somewhere in her intestines that will heal itself given time.  Another surgery isn't good for her he says and the scan has to many risks.  Her stomach is getting a better color and not getting worse etc so he wants to continue to give her body time.

We learned another term it is 'bradying'.  That is when the heart rate goes very low.  She was doing that allot when they were touching her yesterday (Saturday).  She is so tired of being bugged obviously.
