It's 6pm and Jo's 3rd bag of ATG is about 1/3 gone. I haven't talked to Jo much today. She has been sleeping all day. She did tell me that last night was not pleasant at all. Within 36 hours of first getting her ATG, she had gained 20 lbs. from all the fluids she had been given. I can't imagine there is any way to gain 20 lbs. in 36 hours and physically feel good.
In order to keep Jo's blood pressure up today, the doctors significantly reduced her medication for the side affects. The good news is that her blood pressure has been good all day. The bad news is that the ATG will remain a "little unpleasant" for a "little longer".
Little Miss Anna is enjoying her first Minnesota Deep Freeze. My mom took her back to Minnesota the same day we flew to D.C. According to Yahoo Weather, it was -18 degrees Fahrenheit in Minnesota this morning.

Tim,
Thanks for the updates. It really helps us to pray for Jo when we know what is going on.
It sounds pretty awful. I am glad that she has been able to sleep a lot.
