Jeat Yet?

Martha did! 2 donuts*chocolate milk*pears*cottage chesse*pork chop*rice-a-roni. Way to go Martha! She slept a lot too - which is something she really wanted to catch up on.

There was a problem with her TPN pump last night and when she woke up this morning the whole bag was still there. You can't tell it's not draining because it comes with a backpack that you cant see thorough for the purpose of hanging it and/or taking it with you. Anyway, this probably caused a problem with her blood work that indicates kidney malfunction. So her daily anti-biotics and anti-fungal transfusions were cancelled and replaced with a plain-old saline transfusion. She's waiting until Sunday morning to see if her bloodwork reflects that her kidney function has returned to normal. I do wonder though, if not having the TPN is what increased Martha's appetite. I guess we'll wait to Sunday for that too, because she still sets-up her TPN infusion to run tonight.

Thanks to everyone for keeping in touch, calling, mailing letters and blogging back!
