That's good that she is tolerating the added juice and Italian Ice. It helps to get some regular nutrition rather than just depending on an IV.

I look forward to hearing how Kim is progressing. Will you keep posting updates?

Day 4 update - as she transitioned from ice chips to Italian ice and Apple juice, a lot of adjustments to her diabetes medications in getting her dialed in to being without tail of pancreas. Using blood clotting medication intermittently. Progressing from short walks to laps around hospital floor. Pain level very manageable up to this point. Surgeon is discussing continuing Cap/Tem chemo after healing to continue to try to reduce the molecular tumors still left in right lobe of liver. With possibility of removing right lobe of liver in the future.

Day 6 update - we got a nice surprise, the surgeon ok’d Kim to go home today. Slowly teaching body, how to eat again slowly. Pain is manageable with Tylenol. As there is still some tumors on the right lob, although too small to remove, she will resume Cap/Temp chemo to continue reducing what’s left. Time to heal then the fight continues hopefully more on just a maintenance level.
