Chelsea had another excellent report this morning by Lisa the Transplant PA. Lisa said Chelsea's stomach sounded great and decided to move her to regular diet starting today! This is great news and shows just how much Chelsea is progressing.
Chelsea has to start tracking her calories and writing down everything she eats. She really isnt too hungry yet so it is a challenge to tempt her with anything. She has been mostly interested in Brisk tea and orange sherbet push-ups so far but will have to expand that today. She has to limit fat and stay away from carbonation. Other than that, she can basically try whatever she wants.
She has to continue walking today but other than that, we expect a quiet day. Chelsea wanted to read some cookbooks but the library here doesnt have any so I am going to check out the library at Ronald McDonald house to see if they have any there. It is great to see Chelsea interested in things again and that her energy is starting to return.
One day away from the 3 week mark!
Hi Chels,
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to hear how well you are doing. I am pretty much cyber-stalking this site to check on you every day. I am so thrilled at your progress (not surprise though)! You are such a strong, beautiful, and determined young lady, so I figured you would show your true colors through this experience as well. My family and I have been praying for you constantly, and I know every one who knows you is praying for and thinking of you all the time.
I am so anxious to come visit you. Pittsburgh is a short drive for me, so let me know when you are ready and I'll be there! Can't wait to see your smiling face! Take care and be strong!
Mrs. Schellhorn
P.S. Stacye and Bryan--thank you so much for keeping us all updated. I am so glad I am able to find out how Chelsea is doing and witness the power of prayer through your updates! Take care and let me know if there's anything I can do for you or Chels!
Hi all! So thrilled to hear Chelsea is doing so well, and know that you are amazed, too. We continue to keep Chelsea in prayer and for you guys, too. We miss you guys so much! Love, Christine and Jim
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear how great she is doing :). We are putting a package in the mail tomorrow, it will include cookbooks :)
ReplyDeleteAny other requests? (seriously!)
Love,
