Cathy was incrementally better again today. She did have an episode of low blood sugars this morning. It seems that the IV insulin is to much during the day when the tube feedings are off and not quite enough when she is receiving the feedings at night. The doctors adjusted her feeding schedule. Cathy is now receiving tube feeding around the clock. [If you want numbers: 50 ml per hour of Osmolite at 1.5 calories per ml, providing Cathy with 1800 calories per day by the tube.]
Last night the California roll went over so well that we went for it again tonight. That's gotta be another 150 to 200 calories.
Cathy is still waiting for a room to open up on the 7th floor. We hear that several others in this ICU are also waiting.

That is wonderful another good day!
Keep taking in those calories...us "old" ladies look better with a few added pounds!
Well, I am trying to convince myself that is true.
Love you and miss you
I hope you can soon start getting more of those calories the fun way...eating! Glad you got more sushi tonight...I hope it agreed with you!
That's wonderful that so many in the ICU are ready to be moved out...I just hope you're near the top of the list so you can enjoy a little more peace on the 7th floor.
Hey I'm taking Leyna for her driver's exam on Friday...who would've thought she'd be 19 when she did it!? I just pray that she passes so that she can stop driving illegally! Gotta love those kids...we were nothing like that (wink, wink).
Love and Hugs,
