monday night

hello out there.
well, in the endless and exhausting roller coaster ride that this has been, there were ups and downs today as usual.

downs:
the leg on the injured side is swelling inexplicably. the other leg has clots in it, so it is swollen too. not sure why. they are working on it.
there is insufficient renal output today. when they give him lasix, it works, then without it, the function       declines again. they are also looking into that.

ups:
the antibiotics still seem to be working and he is eating and lucid. i am committed to cooking him at least one naturally prepared, healthy meal a day. his recovery depends on caloric intake, according to the trauma surgeon, but eating that processed and preservative filled crap from the institutionalized hospital kitchen can't be all he eats. so i am his chef right now, which is great. i love to cook and he loves to eat so it works for us both.

i was on kid duty with my brother in law today, so i didn't get to go up there, but i will go tomorrow and give a more detailed update then.

thanks for reading.

love, christene
