Got back around 6:30 am. Another long night again. Summer was running a temperature north of 101 so they took blood and urine samples. She was feeling something around the bladder. Her white blood count was 11, very high for her. The results indicated a bladder infection so antibiotics were ordered. Pain was still an issue last night but Tylenol turned out to work pretty well on top of the low concentration i.v. drip of Fentenyl and the abdominal release from her surgically-implanted On-Q bag.

The big news is she walked and was able to sit upright for around an hour! I expect she will be strolling down the hall today. Knowing her she will just keep on going like the Everyready rabbit and walk home to get on the bike! ;-)

The next major event will be her first fart. Yeah, that's right--farting is key. The digestive system's way of saying, "Open for Business." When that happens the nose tube will come out and she will soon be getting fluids and then chow. Yummy chow (she wants Jimbo's instead.)

She says hi to all thanks everyone for their prayers and thoughts.

Until next post,

Love,

Jim
