She said she has no shame, and I could mention anything she said... =) Her bowels are starting to "get back into the swing" of things, and she's starting to be able to pass gas also, which is helping to aleviate a lot of the pressure/pain she's been experiencing. There's still a Lot of air in there though (which they've determined from a couple x-rays), so they don't want to move to fast. Right now she's allowed "sips and chips", small sips of water, and spoonfulls of ice chips. They don't really want to introduce anything new to her system, until everything else is cleared out and moving properly.
In the morning, she's allowed to have some jello and apple juice. She said, "I don't even really Like either of those things, but I'm soo excited to get to taste Something!" =) She's really anxious to be able to eat again, but doesn't want to do Anything that will delay or reverse her progress. It looks like she May be staying in until Friday now, instead of tomorrow, but they'll decide that for sure tomorrow. She said as much as she's Dying to get home, she'd much rather stay an extra day in the hospital, then go home too soon, and end up needing to come back. That would be terrible.

I just love reading what community you live in! it reminds me of village life in Indonesia where if mom can't be there the kids are just fine with others they know and love surrounding them! that is dying in the US and even in churches! What joy to see it there for you Wendi!! We wish we all could be surrounding you too with love and help -but our prayers are!! xo Tante Jan
PS I can't help but think of those African women's prayers for you when I see Elijah!
