Still making progress/Day 76
Jolianne had a pretty good weekend. They have stopped her pain medication Fentenyl and are giving her Methadone as a substitute. She is having some withdrawal symptoms but everything is manageable at this point. They are still weening her off the vent. They are sending her to Radiology tomorrow to have another PICC line inserted. She has a central line in her right leg right now but they would like to have one other point of access for her since she will be there so long. Hopefully she will be off the vent tomorrow or Wednesday. She has handled her feeds well so far. She is up to 1o right now and it should increase to 12 cc's an hour at 12:00 this afternoon. Jeremy is going to try to talk to Dr. Forbess this week and see what his plans are for her next surgery. They haven't mentioned anything about it in the past few days so we aren't really sure what to expect right now.
