Day 1 at UT Southwestern

Today has started for Lola already. We checked in yesterday evening and went to dinner at Maggianos where we all enjoyed a nice evening. We checked back into our luscious suite here at Le Resort UTSW and got settled in. It's nice because we are able to leave the facility and she isn't just stuck here.
This morning, bright and early, we got her up for vitals and weight. The nurse, Claudia, came in a moment ago and started her IV and got blood work from her. She had to start a glucose tolerance test this morning so if any of you all have had one, then you know how horribly sweet that juice is. Lola actually liked it and chugged it like a champ, the nurse was amazed. About 10 minutes later, Lola wasn't feeling so hot and said she was nauseous, so I explained to her that it's normal and to try and go back to sleep. She did and is passed out! The nurse just came back in for another blood draw and she didn't even wake up. Dr. Garg is in clinic today and will come by after clinic to see her. She is scheduled for an MRI of her liver this afternoon. I will be checking in later with more info as soon as I hear anything.
