Yippeeeeeeee! Happy Dance Happy Dance Happy Dance!
Just talked with Jess and she's feeling 100% better! She even cracked a funny joke when I asked her how many holes she has. And she passed her leak test, she's been up and walking some, and she's keeping up on her deep breathing. She's still got her IV and she thinks a drainage tube. She's not interested in broth, just ice chips and room temp water. Her biggest complaint is the fur growing on her tongue, even with rinsing. And she's still spitting up some blood clots. (All normal, according to her doctor.) Another thing learned - thrush in your mouth after this surgery is very common. Jessie said to "Thank ya'all" for your prayers and hugz. Must have helped a lot for such a great improvement in one day. *** And thanks from my heart, too, you guys. For your private emails and kind words supporting my sister and I on our journeys. Love ya all. Ruthanne
