Karen got a good solid 4 hour block of sleep last night, which is hard to do in a hospital. But she woke up pretty confused. She eventually went back to sleep for a couple more hours and woke up a little confused again. But the third time's a charm, and woke up pretty alert come this morning.
I don't think I've described it here before, but her stomach had really gotten swollen. One of the friendlier doctors had joked that she looked pregnant, and honestly, that's what it looked like. That said, the swelling in her stomach has finally started to go down. She's still not allowed food or drink, but her rectal tube has come out and her vitals have improved. Her heart rate is back in the low 100s and her blood pressure is a healthy 117/91.
It's been a little frustrating lately. It seemed like everything that could go wrong, did. We finally feel like we're heading in the right direction again.
