Today marks another milestone in Susan’s recovery. She no longer has to have the tube in her nose down to her stomach. This was taken out as a result of her system awakening, and the lack of nausea. PTL! Dr. Munoz was very enthusiastic as he came through this morning. He promised to call Dr. Kavanagh after Susan was released. At her present rate of progress this could be perhaps Monday or Tuesday. The next hurdle is how she handles more solid foods, as they start giving her more in the hospital.
Our plan for when she comes home is to greatly restrict her activities. We didn’t do this last time (one year ago) and it cost her in terms of pain and suffering. This time we will greatly restrict visitors for the first week back, and have her save all her energy for the trip to MDA. We hope those of you who would normally visit will understand our need to conserve every ounce of her strength for the rigors of the clinical trial. Thanks!
