Lisa had a much better day today. She had some "movement" today (if you read the Day 3 Update, you'll know what I'm talking about)! And, while that is great news, she still has a ways to go before she can be discharged. Here are some of the things that continue to need progress:
- Her pain today was better managed, but she is still needing some narcotics to get by. She often reports her pain levels as being a 4 or 5 now, but the reality is those numbers are probably closer to 7 or 8 as she is a woman who is always "pushing through" both in her own personal normal and the normal of caring for an adult daughter with disabilities. Her perseverance and commitment never cease to amaze me!
- While there was some progress with her digestive function for the first time in 4 days, she still is not anywhere near back to normal (her abdomen is still very distended) and she needs to be able to eat a more normal diet.
- Between the meds and the healing, she is still quite tired.
We're very thankful to God for the progress and for your prayers! Keep lifting them up!
