First full day at RIC. They spent 3 hours evaluating Jane. Early this week they will have a personal plan for rehabilitation and an estimate of how long it should take. During the evaluation they tested her swallow and it's fine. They have cleared her for eating and drinking. However Jane's appetite is not there. They will keep her on tube feeds until she gets back on track with her appetite again.
Her GJ Tube is still bleeding. They have to change soaked bandages every few hours. Hemoglobin levels are still stable but I am not sure for how long if this keeps up. She is on blood thinners so hard to clot. Tomorrow is Monday so there will be more doctors on it. They may send her back to northwestern out patient so surgeons there can do something about it. They will have to get bleeding under control before she can do much physical therapy.
