NPO

Well, Alisa was feeling really good this morning.  They had even planned on letting her go today at 5:00 pm. 

Then the diarrhea started again at about noon.  They called at 3:45 and decided she would be staying through the weekend.  They will be giving her a TPN (all her nutrients through a central line, nurse friends please feel free to elaborate, or correct my errors.)

They tested her for C-Diff, but that came back negative, so that is good news.  I guess.

They will give her fluids and nutrients through IV and hopefully her bowel will recover enough to let her go home Monday.  If not, they have some plans for another dose of Infliximab.

p.s.  there is a whole new level of fascination with cooking shows.  we have been watching all day.

    Josh,
    I can just see the two of you watching those cooking shows. You are such a fine husband. I love how you stay with Alisa. What support and strength you are to her. Love you both and the fasting and praying is a privilege.

    I so am sorry to hear how sick Alisa is. I wish all that poison didn't have such horrible effects. You are all in our prayers daily. {}
