Sunday Recap

Today has been a REALLY tough day for Lindsay. She is mentally worn down and ready to just be done and go home. She has been sick to her stomach a lot even though the feeding tube is bypassing her stomach.

They had been trying to give her meds orally which I think was upsetting her stomach so they decided they would try to put those in her feeding tube.

She had a visit from the Neurosurgeon and he said he is pretty sure there is a fracture in one of her vertebrae so she had to continue to wear the turtle shell brace for another couple of weeks. They also looked at her arm today and said that the nerve will only heal about 1 mm per day and so it could take a couple months for it to heal and 3 - 6 months for her to regain full usage.


They took a sample of the fluid coming out of her JP Tube and are sending it off to test the levels. If they come back low they could possibly take the JP Tube out as early as tomorrow but they are not really giving her any answers as to how long the feeding tube will be in after they remove the JP tube. Best she could get from them was anywhere from 2 days to 6 weeks.

Overall, I think it was just a tough day for her. My mom said she broke down when Tim left and again when they left. She is tired of being in pain, tired of feeling sick and just wants to go home.

Any thoughts and prayers that you would have for her tonight I'm sure would be appreciated.
