News from rounds this morning. Trish's crit is good and holding, this is encouraging, but we are far from the miracle we are all hoping and praying for. Dr. Jones says Trish's billirubin is down as well - that's also good. As for Trish's swelling legs he says that's normal for the current condition and it will self-correct if she continues to get better. They tried to reduce the pain med to find a better medium between conscious conversation and pain relief, but Trish said she was starting to feel some pain, so they went back up. We will likely try again. If Trish continues to show signs of improvement they will begin nutrition in a day or two. She asked me this morning if she had epilepsy -- I think she knows that her speech and mind are slow right now (mostly from the pain meds we all think) and because of that she thought she might have epilepsy...I explained to her about the bleeding in the belly and she seemed to understand it. We can still go either way and you can still pray strong for that miracle, the doctors still feel it is possible and as you know -- the definition of a miracle is that it is something impossible.
