October 30

Things are slightly better with Jodi. Although she continues to be nauseated most of the time, She is able to retain the food going into the feeding tube. She stays hydrated as well during the day. Those are two very positive things. She remains low on energy and sleeps a lot. She saw the eye DR. yesterday and he was pleased at how good the right eye is looking. The nausea thing is a mystery to say the least and very discouraging to both of us. I suspect that it has to do with the tube feedings that she gets at night but as long as she is not throwing up, we feel that she needs to continue getting the feedings. She is far from being back to the level that she was before she got so sick but we are hopeful that she will be fully back to normal soon. When she gets sick, it takes forever for her to regain her strength. We are planning on her being able to go home this weekend and be with her kids for Halloween. Robert is pretty sick with a miserable cold and we don’t want to expose Jodi so we will see how it goes today. If he is doing better tomorrow, then she can go home. Connie
