Things seem to be changing around here faster than my father's predictions for the Minnesota Vikings' season. After 36 hours in the hospital, not one single thing had turned up to indicate why Jo's temperature may have spiked, and Jo actually looked ready to head on back out to the dance floor. My mom and I walked into her room this morning and she was walking around without even using her walker.
This afternoon, we returned home again - so, scratch that email idea I had yesterday. Once we got home, things got a little tough again. They aren't so bad that we expect to go back to the hospital, but the picture isn't as rosy as it was at Swedish. Some of that is due to the difference between Jo getting pain medication delivered directly to her blood stream vs absorbing the medication through her stomach. Even though it is a bit more of a struggle, Jo would much rather be at home.

Glad to hear Jo is back home. I wish her a speedy recovery and no readmissions to hospital.
It really is good of you Tim to keep us all so well informed.
I tried to bring Jo some magazines yesterday because I was in the ER doing a psych eval, and I was happy to find her AWOL from the unit :) I wonder if they make pain medication in a liquid form that you can swallow... glad to hear about the pleasant surprise :) Anna is soooo cute! Today, putting kids in line, tomorrow, teaching her own line dance!
lyssa :)
