Hanging in There

Hi all! We are officially in a room as of last night which has been great. We are at Brenner's Hospital in Winston-Salem in room B824. Unfortunately Jodi had a tough night and is struggling with pain and a fever today. She's very sore and painful when we try to move her around. The doctor continues to be pleased with her progress and we feel she is getting good care. Jodi still smiles at us from time to time and is talking and teasing some. She seems content watching Dora and some of her other shows to keep her occupied. We'll work on getting her to move around more tomorrow which will be tough but necessary. She still shows that tough character and here's a good example. Last night she kept saying "potty." I would tell her just to go in the bed because she has a catheter in place. She would then say, "Mama, no trouble." This morning I found out the her catheter was leaking and that she was laying on soaked sheets. Bless her little heart! She was trying to be compliant and just listen to Mama. You can bet we're checking on everything she says now!! Our love and gratitude to you all.
