Pretty decent day today although not quite as productive as yesterday. She sat-up a couple of times for a long time and walked around again, this time a little farther than yesterday, but, she hasn't seemed like she felt as spunky as she did yesterday. Some of it might be due to her not sleeping well last night b/c of having to get up and go to the bathroom so many times due to the Lasix. Also, she has eaten much at all today but she is getting nutrition through the feeding tube from around 8:00 p.m. til 8:00 a.m., so she is getting fed.
The surgeon wants her to get her nutrition built up, be able to walk around a little more without tiring out, before he feels comfortable letting her go. So, we initially thought maybe she might be discharged over the weekend, perhaps Sunday, but he (surgeon) said he will probably be the first of the week. Hopefully.
Also, a little low-grade fever is back.
