Thank you all so much for the prayers! She made few baby steps forward today and I am grateful! She is so weak. She was able to get tthe tube out of her nose today. This morning she couldn't even have ice chips and by this evening she actually had some ice/water, a few sips of broth and juice! Her road to getting well is very long but we will take all the good baby steps we can get! Please and thank you for keeping her in your prayers!

That sounds scary. I do hope that the repairs to her bowel are successful and she recovers well.

***updated 8/5*** She's finally improved enough to be out of the ICU! Tomorrow will mark her third week in the hospital almost a month after her original surgery. She's in amazing spirits after all she's been through. She's got drain tubes everywhere in her abdomen and other things that they are watching close. She was able to walk a little today, sit in a chair, eat a little, etc ... Baby steps! Thanks for the all the prayers and continuing to pray for her.

I am so glad she is making some improvements. 3 weeks in the hospital is such a long time. How is the rest of the family holding up?

***updated 8/16*** SIL is continuing to make baby steps toward getting better. She's still in the hospital (almost 5 weeks) and got out of intermediate ICU yesterday. We are so grateful! She's gotten a few drain tubes out and a new one in last week. A CT scan Monday will determine if any more can come out or new ones are needed.
Her big thing now is re-learning to eat. She's had almost nothing in her stomach for 5 weeks. Nothing sounds good to her. When something does sound good, she gets a bite or two, then the muscles in her stomach contract and she has to stop.
The family is rallying together to try to make sure she always have someone with her ...problem is, she lives 3 hours away from everyone! No family/ SO where she lives, just a few work friends. We've done pretty good so far. Wed & Thur this week were the first time in a month someone couldn't be there. I called and texted with her several times and chatted w/nurses to make sure she was doing good.
So, our jobs this weekend us to get her to eating! (Then get more drain tubes out next week) if that happens, she may be able to get out of the hospital next week. It is so good to hear those updates from the doc instead of the other kind ...
She still has quite a journey ahead. She's still very weak, in quite a bit of pain and her stomach is now a road map of scars. But, we can see improvement and she wants to get well so bad!
Thanks for the Pea Prayers so far and if you can send a few more for her, that would be awesome!
