Tiny Steps Forward

Molly is feeling better, for the most part today. There are times when the interval between doses is a little bit too long, but more often than not she seems to be in a lot less pain than yesterday. We transferred her to a wagon today and took a trip downstairs to the gift shop. This was fun in the beginning, but soon became a bit of a nightmare. She is still very tired and became a bit hysterical when she couldn't find the right thing to buy. We came back up and she promptly fell asleep for a little under an hour.

She is watching show after show after show at the moment and interacting with us more and more like herself. We have not figured out a plan yet as to when we will be leaving, but we will probably find that out tomorrow morning when Dr. Esposito does his rounds.

She is still not eating or drinking much of anything and went 8 hours without going to the bathroom (after the catheter was taken out at 8 am). We got her on a bedpan a little while ago and now things seem to be moving in the right direction. I just hope she begins to eat and drink quite a bit more than she currently is.

All in all we are happy to have the past two nights behind us.
