Quiet on the Set!

2:00 PM

I am actually having a productive day.  I have finished a number of articles and videos for the Clinicient help website, so I'm feeling pretty good.  Pam is sleeping while I'm working on the website.  I tell her that her snoring is barely audible in my videos.  For your amusement, see if you can hear Pam snoring in the background in one of my "productions" that I did today in the hospital while Pam was sleeping:  Place of Service Scheduling

5:30 PM

Dr. Weinstein has started Pam on Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN), simply meaning that she can get all of her nutrition from her PICC line.  He told her that she doesn't even need to worry about eating for now.  She was very relieved, because eating and swallowing is so painful. We have also found that gargling with plain saline solution, then suctioning it out (rather than spitting) seems to work about as well as anything for easing her mouth and throat soreness.

Another day in the hospital is over.  I continue to be very thankful to all of our friends and family and grateful for the great care Pam is receiving.
