Jen's doing OK, she was sick over the weekend but has recovered quickly. Her arm has healed well after the surgery to install the fistula, and they removed the staples Sunday.

I am currently working with her doctor to get an insulin pump installed. Normally they require the subject to be out-patient status but with her condition he feels that she should be viewed as an exception. With the pump installed her blood sugars will remain steady and episodes of low blood sugar will be forewarned by an alarm.

The next step will probably to have her transferred to UCSF for review and possible surgery to install the gastic pacer device.
