Nicole is getting stronger, she took a walk down to the waiting room yesterday evening, watched part of the Cowboy/Eagle game with Ben and her Dad and then walked back. Much farther than the day before. She is getting up and down much better. The plan for today is to tempt her down there again today (the long way) with one of her favorites - a Subway meatball sandwich.

Sunday, January 10
Nicole is down to one IV pump for her antibiotics and the PCA for her pain medication. That is a great sign. While she was in ICU one of the doctors told us you could tell how sick a patient was by the number of IV pumps they had. At that time she had six. We made it down to four and then when things started to spin we went up to seven. We are happy with one for now. Yesterday's ultrasound went okay. The ultrasound result has raised some mixed concerns between doctors, however they did agree on the need to terminate her TPN (total parental nutrition) which can be an added stressor for the liver. They will continue to monitor her liver function to see if it resolves.
