Back to better days.

Today was a much better day. They pulled the tube from Carrie's stomach this morning. She was feeling better after spending the night with it sucking everything out of her stomach. However it was very uncomfortable and she hardly slept. But with it out she able to catch up on sleep throughout the day. They had to put a central line back in this afternoon for the nutrient drip. This time they put it in her arm rather than her neck. And of course it didn't go where they wanted it to go so she will be going to radiology tomorrow to get the line put in correctly. It is not causing Carrie any discomfort, it just isn't where it is suppose to be. Carrie is looking forward to getting the nutrient supplement so she start feeling better and stronger. Dr. Arnoletti stopped by today and said that physically Carrie is recovering as expected except for the eating solid foods. That is his main concern right now and if focusing on getting her to eat solid food in the next couple of days. He said that once she is eating more solid food he will look at removing the tube that is draining the area where part of her liver used to be. And again Dr. Davies came by and said that the tube draining her chest cavity is looking like they can remove it tomorrow. We'll see about that one. Carrie was completely on Lortab today with no morphine and a pain level of 4 out of 10. That is good news. If the nutrient drip works and Carrie begins to get stronger and starts eating, we suspect we will start discussing when we might get to leave for Auburn(Woo Hoo). We don't expect to hear anything about till over the weekend or first part of next week. And to elaborate on Carrie not eating, it's not that doesn't want to eat, she just hasn't been able to take in anything other than ice chips and water. She said that right now she would eat sour cream if she could. I know these posts are coming late at night so I am going to start trying to get them out in the mornings. Tomorrow's will not be morning one because I will be in Auburn for about an hour to take care of some things. So Saturday's will be a morning post.
