Props to Cat Man


Last night was a moving night. In that, Yumi's bowels moved. The enema and colace that the doc had prescribed seemed to do the trick. She is feeling better this morning despite the pain she had at 4 am. So when the doc came in at noon-fifteen he indicated that perhaps this was a constipation issue all along. With her medical history, they have to rule out bowel obstruction before they can really go full gangbusters trying to treat constipation because that could cause more pain and more problems.


She is going to be advanced to clear liquids. And she was able to pull her NG Tube out this morning. This is progress and he said if she is able to tolerate full liquids by this evening she can go home with strict instructions for plenty of hydration and a high-fiber diet. :)


I had plans to go home for a nap before I get Dani and Everett but I will postpone this in hopes that I can take her home tonight and sleep for hours on end tomorrow.


Thanks to the Lord for answered prayers and the specific request Yumi had to be out by Friday.
