Jenny continued to do well today and made some progress from yesterday - her transplant area started to turn slightly pink (which is good!)from a stark white. The nurses were thrilled. Her IV's were removed, and she enjoyed lunch in a chair (recliner with her leg propped up).
Each day we have a good laugh from her evening male nurse, who previously served in Vietnam (so he's in his 60's). The first day he gave her a sick bag (rubber ring with a 12 inch plastic bag). He pulled it all out to a point and said, if she didn't need it, she could use it as a party hat! Her arm is supposed to be elevated, and once he found it level. He joked that if he found it like that on Thursday that she would get an enema. Don't you think she'll remember that?
We're have way through the critical portion of four days, and Dr. Ingari seemed pleased so far. Everyone is cheering for the S.A. Spurs here. The hospital is across from their training center.
Thanks again for your prayers and calls...we appreciate them all!
Gretchen
