Tuesday afternoon

Rachel has sat-up in the chair three times today for a total of about 3 1/2 hours.  She has eaten just a tiny bit but this is progress.  The doctors had stopped one of her heart medications, Enalapril, for heart function right after surgery b/c it was lowering the diastolic pressure in her blood pressure.  However, since they've stopped that particular med, she has not been the same.  So, this morning, they started her back on it, at a lower dose, to see if that will help with the heart function aspect of it.  And, some good news is that she actually slept really good last night for the first time in a long while, which she really needed.  Making progress a little at a time.
