Normalizing

Heather is feeling better and better. She got another good night's sleep last night and woke up with a bit more energy than yesterday. She was able to expend that energy quickly though. A shower and a trip to the lab for more inaccupuncture. They dug around in her arm a bit and said that she should go home and try to hydrate so they could find a vein.

When she got home from the blood draw attempt, she was pretty well wiped out. She spent the afternoon on the couch drinking water and thinking big vein thoughts. Right now, her dad has taken her back to the lab to give them another shot (pun not intended).

Other than the blood draw attempts, her recovery continues nicely. As I said, it doesn't take much to tucker her out. Her skin is looking better, the skin box is nearly full... Her coordination is improving and her appetite is coming back, which is good because as many of you know we are getting delicious meals dropped off every night and I am going to need her to step up and start doing her part, otherwise I'm going to have to dig out my big boy pants to accommodate my expanding waistline :)

Hopefully by the time you are reading this, Heather is back home, relaxing after a successful blood draw. If not, we will let the vultures go at her again tomorrow...
