I am guessing it is safe to say that things might be picking up real fast here on our end. Just since the last post things have been crazy. Jenn's tests came back clean from the staph infection and they also came back clean to the point that it was now marrow time. Yesterday they reconstructed what was left of the left leg, which is going to lead to a very brutal rehab later once we get further along. At least she gets to keep it though. She currently has a soft cast on the left leg and they put the hard cast back on the right leg and for those wondering, it was another Tye dyed one. We are keeping her bright. lol. Today she was given more of Mike's marrow which took us back to Day 0 of our wonderful waiting game here in Boston. They were also trying to test her lungs to see if the steroids helped and she was able to comfortably breathe at least 10% on her own. It was almost 15% but she was really pushing herself and after awhile her O2 stats started dropping so they had to boost it back up. Each day they are going to aim for a bit more but they don't was to strain the body anymore than needed. They did take her off of the medications they were using to keep her heart on rhythm and so far the only changed were that her heart rate dropped after surgery yesterday and hasn't changed much since which is good. They said it is normal considering everything they had her on and the recent traumas to her body. She is awake here and there and already getting angry with me for eating Arby's without her. If looks could kill, I would be dead after this afternoon for sure.
I think otherwise the only other things to mention is that Mike is doing good and very proud of his marrow right now. He is a little sore but I think his Big Head will keep him going for awhile to distract him. Rob is also on his way up here tomorrow from DC so Mike is entering the protective little brother stage. Rob is one of the medics who has been kind enough to help us transport Jenn when we needed to get her between hospitals. He is also a college friend from the past and now current boy friend. We will see where this goes but otherwise we just have to take everything day by day.
