Hi,
Jeff continued with his nausea most of the day and into tonight. The doctors feel that it is due to the anesthetic, as well as from motion and his balance. He did manage to sit up tonight and even ate a cracker. He is still hooked up to an IV for fluids but has been trying to sip small amounts of water and juice through a straw. We are hoping that he will feel better in the morning and that the nausea has subsided some. I do have to give kudos to Ann for being a great nurse to Jeff, I'm sure you all know how well I do with puke. ;)
The doctor also removed his Knoll's swimming cap (A.K.A. his bandage.) I am happy to report that they did NOT shave his entire head so we won't have to stare at Jeff's bald head all summer (I saw pictures from when he shaved his head in high school, and believe me, it was not a pretty sight!) They did shave a square patch in the back of his head where the incision is. The incision is probably close to 4 inches long... ouch.
We are hoping to receive the MRI and pathology reports tomorrow, so please keep Jeff in your prayers until then. Thanks for all of the wonderful notes you have left, Jeff has had fun listening to me read them.
Until tomorrow,
Kim :)

Sitting up and moving toward a cracker is HUGE! I bet by tomorrow the queasy feeling will be about gone. Your family of course will be in our prayers tonight. Thanks for keeping everyone updated. Big hugs to you!

Good Morning Jeff, Kim and Ann!
ReplyDeleteWe're enjoying keeping up with your progress and hope that each day is just a little bit better than the last. You're in good hands. We're keeping all of you in our thoughts and prayers.

Sorry to hear you're on puke patrol, Ann. :+
Jeff & Kim,
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear things are improving. Maybe slowly, but improving. We will be praying for good reports today. Thanks so much for this blog. We are all so concerned, and it helps to know what is going on (and then I don't have to call Barb 50 times a day to see if she's heard anything)!
Tina, John, Jordan, and Jessi
Good Morning Jeff and Kim!!
ReplyDeleteOne cracker down--You'll be eating cheeseburgers and drinking a beer before you know it! LOL!! Duane wanted me to tell you that you better get up and moving around soon or the BIG GUY will be there himself to help with that process--(I would be a little scared!! ) JK!
All kidding aside, I hope the nausea subsides and you have a better day!! Here is one big hug for the both of you!!
Take care!!
Duane and Michelle

ReplyDeleteIn my prayers....

Good Morning! Hope everything is at least a
ReplyDeletelittle better today. I knew that Anne was there
for reason----I don't do bedpans any more
either!! Get feeling better, Jeff---I will
be watching for the test results later. Kim,
Kathy said to let her know if Jeff feels like
company. Love you!!
Actually Kim - I know Jeff doesn't feel like company but if you do let us know. Kathy
ReplyDeleteIt is so hard when you are so far away but it is probably best for Jeff - at least he gets more rest except for the whispering! I don't know, Jeff, you may be setting a new trend in Lincoln with your bald patch! You could always write "Black Shirts" in there! Treat yourself today to 3 or 4 crackers! Kim, I think the not being good at handling puke is a Ross trait!
ReplyDeleteLove you both,
Peg
Just me again. I was thinking about Jeff's
ReplyDeletehead, and maybe totally bald would be preferable
to a big patch in the back!!! We had better
start getting him some caps!! Love you, Mom
Wouldn't it be funny if Jeff's hair grew back in brown! Tell Jeff we would still love him anyway!Prayers are being sent that the path tests come back with good news! Miss you guys!
ReplyDeleteLots of hugs,
The Nitz's
