Great news!!
The doctor just stopped in and since Sara hasn't really lost much fluid in the past few days, she is cleared to start a clear liquid diet. Full of soup broths, juices, and even a popsicle if she feels daring. I think I miscalculated on her fluid loss in an earlier blog. They use this weird logarithmic scale for measuring the fluid. She's only lost around 300mLs since she has been here, not over a liter like I previously thought. That's pretty good since she got drained Monday morning, and glued shut on Wednesday. All Good signs.
It was a pretty great sight when they told Sara. Because when I arrived this morning she didn't look the best. She was up every few hours for pain meds and blood draws and bathroom visits last night. So I think it was just a lack of sleep face I saw when I got in. But as soon as they told her she could have some food (liquids) intake, she was ecstatic.

. . .and we all scream for ice-cream (and pudding, too!) Liquids first, softies next, and then back to normal foods before you know it!
