Ellen is doing OK. The doctors are pleased that her liver is recovering and that her white cell count is starting to come up. They feel that she is over the critical period and is no longer considered high risk. Ellen, however, is not so pleased. She has been terribly uncomfortable today as her abdomen has become more swollen. This appears to be due to the fact that over the past few days she has been given too much fluid. The doctors have given her more diuretics to help her wee some of the fluid off which has helped. Whilst it is obviously a relief that Ellen's condition is improving, it is terribly distressing to see her so uncomfortable and quiet. We have been told that it will take at least ten days before she is feeling better.
