Friday Evening

Pretty good day today.  Best thing about today was that Hannah finally got her dialysis line out of her neck.  Her kidney function numbers weren't super great, but they feel pretty confident they will start to improve.  Not having the line in makes it a lot easier for her to move around.  And hopefully they won't need to give her so many pain meds.  We want her to wake up a little bit!  She still seems like she is in a drug haze-not really too sure what's going on.  Maybe with a few less drugs that will change.  I hope so.  Our goal of the day tomorrow is to wash her hair.  She still has all this glue stuff in her hair from the electrodes of the EEG. They haven't wanted us to really move her head much with that line in her neck, so we have had to wait to wash her hair.  Hopefully that will help her feel better.  I know it will help me feel better.
Next week physical therapy starts daily.  Tonight the nurses were doing a procedure that was upsetting her and so they asked me to hold her arms.  She got really mad and started to fight. I couldn't believe how strong she was.  I had to get Bob over to help me because she she was pretty much winning the fight.  She definitely was stronger than me.  Ok ok maybe that's not saying much, but I was pretty impressed.  This girl is a fighter.  I sure love her.  It seems our lives have been turned upside day the last 10 days, but as I sit here and look at her I just feel an abundance of gratitude that she is still here with us.  My precious girl.
