Turning the corner?

Yesterday, Angela had a day full of tests and she wasn't able to eat until 6:00 p.m. I can tell you she really enjoyed supper! This morning she said she woke up with her usual appetite, for the first time in days. There weren't many tests today, just several blood drawings, which are a piece of cake with the PICC line. They have asked her to join a study of drug induced liver injuries and gave her a long questionnaire to fill out. All the doctors now seem to agree that it is a drug induced injury, though not all the results are back and they won't say for absolute certainty.

I didn't get numbers, but her liver enzymes looked "slightly better" today. They want her to stay at least two more days, to make sure the downward trend continues and look at the test results that aren't in yet. Then, hopefully, she will just let time make things better. Our bodies, especially our livers, were made with a remarkable ability to heal themselves. We may never know which drug caused this, though it would surely be nice to know which one we need to stay clear of.

It's now another Sabbath, to be spent in the hospital instead of church. We do have a private room and may be able to listen to something on the computer, though it will have to be something we already have as I've been having terrible luck with their WiFi -- it's so slow most sites time out waiting, but they say they haven't gotten gripes from any other users.

God is blessing us by making Angela feel well again and with doctors who are working to find out the cause and hopefully cure for her liver. He's also blessing Angela with a strong desire to spend more time reading her Bible. In all her down time today, I'm not sure if I even saw her pick up a puzzle book -- maybe for a couple of minutes -- but she's been reading from one of the gospels. We are both looking forward to going home -- to Red Bluff, Addy, and most of all Heaven.
