Tired

3:30 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 6
Yes, 3:30 in the morning and I'm leaving the hospital. A little after 9 p.m. they became concerned about Laura's abdomen, which was hard as a rock. After many hours, X-rays at CAT scans (at 2:30) they believe part of her large intestine may be paralyzed. It's blocking food and water from leaving her stomach and they had to suction out all the apple juice and water we fed her. This may be causing her dehydration and constant thirst. They told me this at 3:15 so I'm a little unclear. Anyway, Laura may be on intravenous feeding and hydration for a while. She's cranky. I'm cranky. Good night.

  1. Marty,
    Please send our love to Laura and keep a bit for yourself. I'm sorry about the complication - it's rough.
