November 20, 2008 Update

It was the best day yet for Lisa. They did discontinue the Tylenol Study but they explained that she will only be missing 3 doses and they will still be following her and including her data in the study. The also clamped off her drain. She had a good lunch (salad and artichoke for Bricktops) and gave herself a sponge bath. She even changed into her new light blue pajama bottoms which she loves!!! In the afternoon she didnt doze much. Dr. Meracle came in the afternoon and told her how well she is doing and hopes to send her home on Monday. He says it depends on the drain, the Doppler Scan, and Cat Scan that will be done Friday morning. The Cat Scan shows greater detail than the Doppler Scan and must be done before she can go home. The procedure takes at least an hour. Jack came to the hospital again and will be leaving for his frisbee tournament Friday. Ria June is flying in on Friday and I know Lisa will be very glad to see her. For dinner Lisa was craving P.F. Changs dumplings and beef/broccoli. She had quite a bit left that she said would be her midnight snack. She had me buy a deck of cards :) In the evening we played one hand of Battle. She says she is getting bored (ANOTHER GOOD SIGN). I will try to post something as soon as I know something on the Cat Scan. Just depends if I can get to the computer or not.
