Jo's Tummy Update #10 (Health Quiz #3)

Day 5 - And we are hoping it is the last. Jo had eggs and potatoes for breakfast and things seem to be moving along. Jo is up and around tidying the hospital room making ready for our exodus. That's when you know Jo is well, she cleans :)



We are waiting to see the doc. Nurse says that should be this AM. Everyone seems to think she should be discharged as soon as the doc sees her one more time. If so, we will likely head home to chill.

We will post when we get discharged. Thanks for sticking with us and for praying for and loving us.

Health Quiz #2 Results:

ANSWER: - With about 3000 mL of IV fluid being pumped in per day, Jo has been 'going' about once every two hours during the day, and every four hours at night, for an average of 10 times a day. She is a VERY Hydrated girl!

WINNER - Since the only numerical guess wasn't even close (sorry mom), we are declaring this quiz winnerless. Which is very unfortunate because that means no one gets the sweet plastic floaty boat thing with the Bio Hazard baggy sailor.

Health Quiz #3: What term is used to describe the muscle movement that keeps food moving through the gastrointestinal tract? (Must be spelled correctly :)

So, Jason and I think that it's peristalsis.

That is not fair that I did not win. I answered the question and should be the winner.
