More IV fluids and some real food!

I went in this morning and my NP decided that some more fluids would be a good idea. My numbers from my blood draw today weren't bad, but she wanted to give me some extra boost. I am only drinking about 30 oz a day right now ... which is better than the end of last week, but is still not enough.

I have been watering down my propel, which helped cut the sweetness to a tolerable level. My sister-in-law, Teri, suggested it and it has been working out great. I got lots of great suggestions from my friends on facebook, so that was awesome.

Today I am able to start eating protein in its normal form. It was so exciting! :) So, I had a small part of a cheeseburger (no bun). I have to make sure I chew it really well, but it tasted so much better than pureed chicken!
