just talked to julie, and she was crying... evidently she still can't move her bowels and is so discouraged... her stomach is distended and hard, painful and silent... the dr. was in for a few min. to tell her to continue drinking and walking and then left promptly, although he did order the morphine drip removed... i continue to pray for her recovery, but other than that all i can do is listen... in the meantime, my husband and i are preparing for our lst liver flush... go our gold coin grass on sat. and began taking it yesterday... want to do this till sept 3rd so that if we have any large stones they will be softened and will pass without trouble... seeing this agony that my friend is going through has given us the resolve to get going on this... we are both 50 so we know we've got congested liver's just because of time and diet... will keep you updated on julie's progress
