Wednesday Evening

Jennifer has had a pretty good day. Nothing like last night with the pain. She made a comment today about how swollen she is. She said she looked like a "pink peep". Quite the character.
She is actually as I sit typing, having a massage for her neck and back. The massage therapist is actually rubbing her feet, (which if anyone knows Jennifer at all) that's funny. She hates anyone touching her feet, but was willing to try it to stop the archness in her back and neck. She has eaten jello, drank broth, iced tea and lemon ice and cranberry juice. She said that they all tasted good, better than ice chips. I don't know, but she probably won't be quite as picky with her food anymore, since she hasn't eaten in almost a week. I think anything will taste good. she wanted fries and a coke from McDonalds yesterday, but thought maybe that wouldn't be a wise move. Good call, don't you think? We were sitting here right around 6 or so, and Jennifer noticed that her gown was becoming wet Jennifer thought that it was her chest tube that had come loose, I thought it may have been her catheter leaking. I called the nurse, but there were 3 emergencies on the floor, so we really weren't top priority. The nurse finally came in, looking a little frazzled They had to send a couple patients back to icu. she checked Jennifer, who was right about it being her chest tube. It had come apart at the connection that laid on her stomach and was leaking. So the nurse came in, put it back together, taped it and went back to the other crisis'. Overall, if that's all we have to deal with today, it was a pretty good day. Im thinking in the next day or so, you'll have Jennifer writing on her blog again. It will be nice to hear firsthand from her again. We have been so blessed with family and friends that have prayed and been concerned for Jennifer. I can never tell you what it has meant to us! Thank you from the bottom of all our hearts!
