Mom is bouncing back slowly. She had a bowel movement yesterday, but they cannot send her home until she passes gas and keeps two meals down. They took her off the iv yesterday, she took a shower today and is up and walking more. She's still not allowed ot eat solid food. Twice they have given her a liquid diet tray.......she takes two bites..and they take it away. You think the doctors would get it straight. It's like the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. Argh! mom is expected to be in the hospital through the weekend.
