A Good Start This Morning
Cheryl didn't rest well last night and was in and out of bed every hour or so. I didn't expect to see her getting around too much this morning.
She got out of bed around 0800, sat in the chair for nearly an hour and had apple juice and a cup of water.
Dr Friedman was here early and is going to wait for starting the IV feeding to see if she can get a can of Glucerna down today. He is still watching closely for any infection. And in true doctor form regarding when she may be better: "You're in the hospital until you go home." I'm afraid he's double billing us as he's as much help to me as her.
I find it amazing watching how well he tends to her as compared to the quack that caused her bladder damage and never seemed overly concerned about her when she was kicking in pain. +1 for this guy for sure!
Her face burn seems to have finally stopped and is now only drying and cracking. The drinks this morning may be a sign that her mouth pain is becoming more tolerable. The swelling in her face seems to be receding and her throat swelling pretty much went away overnight.
She's resting as Donna suggested to be ready to go for the Pats game tonight!

Rick, thank you so much for keeping us updated. It's hard being so far away, but I imagine sometimes it's harder to be right there. Cheryl's always (ALWAYS) been a fighter and a positive person. These strengths will definitely pull her through this!! It's funny to read about the cats though since she was such a dog person.
Love Brenda
It is so good to hear you all had a nice visit with the doctor. I am sure it is very comforting knowing that they will make sure Cheryl is 100% before she goes anywhere!
I know at times you don't feel up to writing things down but I have found that it is good therapy. Keep your spirits up Rick...keep the faith...you all are definitely moving in the right direction. The Lord does not give you anything He does not think you can handle. The three of you are there for one another ...always have been....You are going to be amazed how much closer it will bring you ...not even realizing you could be closer. From our experience these last few years....the bond is quite amazing these days. Draw the Lord near to your heart...HE will bring you a peace that is quite awesome!
Big hugs to you ....Mary
