T + 3

Annette was feeling much much better this morning, which is an encouraging sign of progress!  She ate some eggs and grits for breakfast -- more than she has eaten in the past few days -- and did not need her nausea medication.  She is much more alert and talkative when she is not on the medication; she was even able to do a lap and a half.   Unfortunately, her nausea returned around noon.  Nausea, and the medication to treat it, have been the biggest obstacle in her recovery so far. She has been fairly sedated this afternoon as a result of the medication though she started to feel better as the medication took effect. John came this morning, and Katie and Mark showed up around lunch and spent the day with us.
