Empty bottles and ice cream

Today was another rough day of progression. Liza is running out of pain meds and we all tried, unsuccessfully, to contact the doctor and pharmacy to get more...many times. But we think we can make it through the night. We go to see Dr. Comair early tomorrow morning so we'll be able to get more if he wants us to have them.

Liza had another strong bout of nausea tonight that was stayed by a Whataburger shake. (I hear they're also good for sealing tires.) But seriously, we are noticing progress in Liza's movement and ability, but that progress is yet a bit overshadowed by nagging pain (the colorful remnants of nine attempts at an IV are not painful, however). Frequent naps seem to really help as Liza feels the best when she first wakes up. She is still having some tingling and nerve pain on her left side and we are PRAYING that this is not the same effect that led us to surgery in the first place. According to the doctors last week, it is due to the swelling that will probably remain for a another week or so. We'll confirm that tomorrow as a matter of urgency.

Oh, my Hebrew test went very well...thank you for your prayers. I make some goofy mistakes but am extremely thankful with the outcome, although I don't know exactly what that is yet. Many blessings and a million thanks.
