Already have taken the "art-line: out of her groin area and they will be taking the I-J line out of her neck at some point between now and 3:00 p.m. She is scheduled for a swallow study test at or about 3:00 p.m. today to make sure she doesn't swallow drink/food into her lungs. If she does okay with the swallow study, they will allow her to have small sips of water and/or other clear liquids today. She isn't quite ready to chug a whole glass of sweet tea (Well, in her mind she is) but she is getting closer.
She has been more sleepy the last two days and we mentioned it to the docs during rounds this morning and the consensus was that she still has some pain meds in her system that is making her sleepy but they are beginning to slowly ween her off of the meds, starting today.
The only other area of concern has been an issue with diarehha but it could be due to some of the antibiotics that she is on.
One particular area that we are happy to report on is that since her transplant, not one time has she experienced any nausea! We keep asking her about her tummy and whether she feels sick and she says "No."
There is also a chance that they may take out another chest tube today as well. If so, that will be three tubes taken out in one day!!
We also ask that everyone continue to pray for little "Caleb" who had a very rough night last night. This little fella is such a tough little guy but he and his family really need prayer.
