A quick Ethan post...Debbie had a good day by all reports. Her fever has not returned, she was somewhat talkative, and if being somewhat combative is a sign of improvement then we can add that to the list as well. She also had her IV's removed today. Now this has more to do with them not working and the medical staff not being able to start a good IV line than with significant improvement. However she has had no difficulty taking oral medication so they feel fine giving her her meds orally for the most part. Also, her liver seems to be be better, not great, but better than the past few days. The liver damage appears to be from just the volume of medications it has had to process. Hopefully, the liver will repair over time, luckily its the one major internal organ that can regenerate. A therapist of some sort came by today, not sure if physical or occupational but assuming physical by the sound of it, to get Debbie up and out of bed for a few minutes. This didn't go very well, she was dizzy and felt nauseous  when sat up and refused to stand or move much at all. She invoked the "my son in law is a PT and he will take care of me" statement that I'm sure will make me a hit on 3rd floor Truett. I'm planning on stopping by in the morning to encourage Debbie and talk to the PT and/or OT if I can catch them. Amy said she will post more tomorrow when she gets a chance.
