DAY +14

YESTERDAY ALICIA HAD AN AWESOME DAY!!!!!!! SHE STAYED AWAKE ALMOST ALL OF THE DAY. AS YOU CAN SEE BY THE PICTURES SHE EVEN GOT OUT OF BED!!!!! SHE PUSHED THE HUGE IV STAND ALL BY HER LITTLE BITTY SELF AROUND THE BED AND BACK AGAIN!!!!! I ALMOST CRIED. I WAS SO PROUD OF HER. THIS IS ONE STEP CLOSER TO RECOVERY. OUR GOAL IS TO GET HER UP EVERY DAY AS LONG AS SHE IS WELL ENOUGH. IT DID TAKE ALOT OUT OF HER, IT WASN'T LONG AFTER THAT SHE FINALLY WENT TO SLEEP. SHE EVEN ATE A HALF OF A PIECE OF PIZZA AND TOOK THREE DRINKS OF CHOCOLATE MILK. THEY SAID IF SHE KEEPS GOING FORWARD IN THIS SPEED AND SHE HAS COUNTS THAT WE COULD BE OUT AND AT THE RMH BY TWO TO THREE WEEKS. I SURE HOPE SO.

THIS MORNING STARTED VERY EARLY. THE NURSE CAME IN AND NEEDED TO DO A FINGER POKE TO GET BLOOD. ALICIA'S GLUCOSE LEVEL WAS THREE TIMES OVER THE LIMIT. THEY DREW IT EVERY HOUR AFTER LOWERING HER TPN AND IT SEEMED TO BE GOING DAON A LITTLE. TONIGHT THEY ARE GOING TO TRY TO KEEP HER OFF THE TPN AND UP HER FEED LEVEL SO HOPEFULLY THAT WILL WORK.

I HAVE COMPANY ALL DAY. CAMERON IS HERE STAYING WITH US WHILE TINA IS WITH JO. SHE IS HAVING SURGERY TODAY SO PLEASE KEEP HER IN YOUR PARYERS.

ALSO PRAY ALICIA HAS ANOTHER DAY JUST LIKE YESTERDAY!!!
