Photo: A random stunning portrait...no really, isn't it stunning? It's supposed to be a weiner he/she/it is eating. That's not what I thought it was when I saw it.
J is doing OK, she was a bit overwhelmed by the amount of visitors over the weekend but it's nice that so many came to see her.
J has been able to eat now for more than a week, and they have started her on tube feeding again very slowly. Her GI doc seems to think that it is too much of a risk to go forward with the gastroectomy at this stage because of the fragile state she's in. They are going to do an internal camera study and see if that is illuminating at all. The UCSF docs are also going to talk to her at some point to discuss other options.
They are going to do another echocardiogram this week to see where they are with the infection in her heart. I'm hoping that they can get it under control, the sooner they deal with it the better the long-term prognosis.
