The Pursuit of Edibles

Sandy, the fireworks are hailin over Little Eden tonight – Bruce Springsteen

Yeah, yeah, and the rockets red glare and all that jazz ……
They don’t let you grill in a hospital room but Renee should be starting on a soft diet at lunchtime. We don’t know what that means as far as release, possibly tomorrow, more likely Monday. This could cause some logistical problems with the child and pup but we’ll figure it out.

We’re here long enough that they are talking about pulling a couple of the staples. It has been ten days since the surgery. The forecast was for three to five days in the hospital. The weatherman was wrong again.

Renee told the nutritionist that she feels good. She’s still got the feed bag dripping and will probably continue to get the IV treatment until real food is re-established in her diet. The doc said there is too much output from the stoma. He is hoping some food will absorb the liquid and regulate it better. So now the lack of food is becoming a problem. Can we find some balance, please.

Nothing much more to report ....

Happy celebrating!
