A little progress

Well Tami made a little progress today, and a little toot as well. It wasn't much but it was a start. As well, she was able to have her catheter and stomach tube removed today. She was very happy about that, but of course still frustrated about the whole situation in general. She is still on ice chips and getting really hungry. The doctors still act like this is all right on track, so we are still hopeful for a Tuesday/Wednesday release.

Also with some creative pausing between nicotine patches she was able to get down stairs for a smoke, although I wasn't thrilled she needed it for that sense of normalcy.

A big thanks to her sisters who went over and cleaned the house today, and I am sure spoiled the puppies a little, I am sure they are missing their mom. They have done so much for us, I wouldn't know where to begin to repay them.
