Today had its ups and downs

Down: They wanted to release Trish today, despite her headaches, nausea, vomitting and the fact that her pressures weren't quite right and she hadn't walked too much in the last few days.

UP: Trish's friend Susan and her friend Beth came to visit. They flew up from Atlanta today and visitied with Trish than we went to James Joyce pub for dinner and than more visits. They will visit more and than depart tomorrow a brief bu fruitful journey.

Down: I had planned to get some work-work done today and catch up on some home things, but because we just didn't know if they would let her out or not I didn't want to leave the hospital.

UP: Dr. Griffiths let the team know to check with me on Trish's status and after evaluating her again they decided to leave her in the hospital tonight.

Trish may get out tomorrow. But we'd all like to see her walk more first and they have put her on fall alert and alarmed her bed, so if she gets up i will call the nurses station. It's tough we would like her to get out, but we don't want to be getting out and readmitted every other day. This is tough enough without adding to the pressure. Trish had some attivan and is sleeping well now. I will let her nurse know and leave the room coming back tomorrow morning.

I look over to her bed while I'm typing every few seconds to watch her chest go up and down -- that's a good sign to. I hope the nausea and headaches subside tomorrow and she gets out because she is really ready. Good night.
