Well the news just keeps getting sorrier. She is going to be kept for at least 5 days and she will on IV the entire time. No food or water by mouth. If there is no improvement in her condition, surgery will be next. The doctors are talking about repairing her esophagus, using part of her intestine. Needless to say she is quite frightened and tears flow often.
Thanks to all for your support. I plan to tell her that you are pulling for her complete and speedy recovery.
