She says she had a good night. The nurse cleaned her last night and changed her linens. Night nurse K is from Memphis so they had long conversations about that. Nurse D this morning says her blood sugar is good and her blood counts are good. Her wound VACs seem to be working well. Unfortunately Meghan can't eat or drink until after they do the IVC filter procedure. She's very sleepy and says her pain is a 5-6 out of 10. She's listening to Charmed on TV while she rests with her eyes closed.
10:00 am
They've taken her down to the vascular center to do the IVC filter. It's not supposed to take very long.
11:00 am
That was quick! She's back in ICU and awake.
12:30 pm
She's talked to her dad and nanny, Caitlin, Michael and McKinsey. Dr. K's made his daily visit to check for Wegener's issues. He's continually checking her kidneys for red blood cells and keeping an eye out for vasculitis again. So far no issues. She got a very cute nurse bear and balloons from Grandpa and Patty - Thanks!!! We started watching the GA v GA Tech game until she got sleepy again.
2:30 pm
Physical therapist arrived to have a sleepy, grumpy Meghan do "exercises". There was a little bit of confusion about which body parts to exercise. For now, they've asked her to just tighten her left quad and glutes, circle her feet, use her right arm as much as possible to help avoid muscle loss in addition to her left hand/finger exercises.
5:00 pm
Quite a bit of napping and a visit from Kat and Ross.
10:00 PM
She had chicken pot pie for dinner, a visit from the respiratory therapist who removed her oxygen tube and a bath. Caitlin and Mom brushed out her hair for the first time since the wreck and found at least 10 more pieces of glass from the rear window of the car. We french braided her hair and she looks FABULOUS!!!

You know that phrase "whatever floats your boat"? I've got a better one. "Whatever flies your tardis".
Eat your combustible banana fritters, and your pumpkin pasties. Else I may sick some Daleks on you >:|
ZERO LOVES YOU! Kaname I'm not too sure about, though. He seems to be flirting around with a certain 'blond'.

I am so glad that there is a blog on her progress. I know that this might sound odd, but if I am able to I would like to send a card to Meghan. If you would please allow me to send one to her that would be:

Heya Meg!!!
I'm so happy you are doing better :D
Keep that spirit up!!!
Hi Meghan! I was so sad to hear of your accident. I have been following the blog...thanks to your family for keeping us all informed. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers each day. You have been so welcoming to me on the tennis team - and always encouraging me. Now it's my turn to return the good deeds. Don't worry about school or work...they can wait! Just take care of yourself. Please let me or any of us on the tennis team know if you need anything!
Many blessings and much love!
Mary
Meg,
Sam told me where to find your blog - I've been thinking about you since I heard of your accident. <3 Thank your mum for me for setting up this blog; it's so good to hear how you're doing.
When I was 14, I was in a bad auto accident as well; "not fun" is an understatement. I'm praying and thinking good thoughts for you and your family, and for a speedy, uneventful recovery!
So hurry and get well - you need to kick my bum in quiddy. *G*
Calli aka Meg2 ;)
Meg!
When I heard about the accident I was so worried, as I've had friends in bad crashes before, so I'm really glad this blog has been created, and I'm so glad that you're ok!
Hurry up and make a full recovery, we all miss you!
<3333
