Saturday's events

I'm writing you with a well rested body. Sara's Mom came in yesterday, and so I was able to take the day off from being at the hospital with Sara. I missed being there with her, but did enjoy the 11 hours of sleep I got. My body needed it after spending Thursday night at the hospital. I also was able to take some time to put some things in order at home. It was kind of falling apart after a party memorial day weekend and being out of town last weekend. Now when we are all done with the hospitals, Sara will have a nice clean house to come home to.

But enough about my day. Here's the scoop with Sara. She got awoken this morning for her latest test, but got a surprise. Apparently, she told them to put the pic line in. She didn't recall this though, so was surprised. Since they were already at the X-ray machine, they did it at the same time. We were pretty sure that we were going to go that course, but Sara was bummed that she didn't get a last meal. She's on the just water diet now, while getting all her nutrients from the pic line. The big bummer is that now that her nausea is down, and she is able to think about food, she again can't have any :(

Well, the other big news is that we've decided that on Monday we'll be transporting her up to Mayo Clinic in Rochester. So if you are in the area and would love to visit her up there, come on out. Also, if you'd like to come in and see her before we go, Sunday is your best bet.

Also, if you know Sara at all, you know that she is deathly afraid of needles. Well, she's had her fair share of those this week. She wanted me to share with you her needle count. I believe we are up to 27 now. And, to Sara's dis-liking, they informed her today that she'll be getting blood sugar readings 3 times a day. So, not a full needle, but it's still 3 pricks a day. So she's counting them with the needles ;).
