October 14

Judy had another good day yesterday. They tried capping off her ng tube to see if she could keep her food (juice and jello) down. Apparently, she still needs the ng tube because she was vomiting this morning hence the ng tube is sucking out the nasty green stuff again. The highlight of Judy's day was physio at 2:00pm. She had her hair washed and was able to use Q-tips to clean her ears. Seems insignificant to some, but you can imagine how good those two things would feel to Judy. Judy also walked 6 steps today. The news from yesterday was: the plastic surgeon said Judy would not be able to sit for 6 weeks. She will be able to walk or lay down, but no sitting. I don't know what that will mean regarding the length of hospital stay. The last bit of news from today is: she is out of the observation ward and into a room. She is still not ready for any visitors. I will keep everyone updated regarding her ability and willingness to have visitors via this blog.
