Not Much Change

Not much has changed since my last post. Meredith is eating – and pooping – on a regular basis and as long as she continues to gain weight at an acceptable rate we will not need to supplement her diet.

We are very conscience of the possibility of her getting sick so she remains on a quasi-quarantine status and we have been enforcing the use of hand sanitizer in our home. What this means is she does not have contact with large groups of people in enclosed spaces (no stores, church, etc), and no visitors to the house that have any signs of being sick or have been recently exposed to sickness. We issue "protective orders" on her behalf against our children who appear to be getting any sort of sickness, they are not allowed within about 5 feet of her until all signs of sickness have abated. It is harder for the younger children to understand, but they are working on it. You may think these steps sound extreme, but I assure you given the alternative (Meredith back in the ICU) they are not.

Meredith goes to the cardiologist this week, I will post an update after that visit.
