So about 10:00 last night her line in her neck, the one for dialysis, started bleeding again. Hannah's poor nurse basically put pressure on it until 4 this morning. She's my hero. Nurses are a special breed of people! This morning her blood work showed that maybe her kidneys are starting to kick in a little better so if her noon blood work shows a progressive trend they will take out the line. So keep your fingers crossed. It has been such a pain! She'll soon be getting another unit of blood-hopefully that'll be the last. She still has a fever from the infection and is acting like she feels pretty miserable, but it's. hard to know which issue is distressing her the most.
A friend sent me a great quote this morning. It said:
Perhaps the butterfly is proof that you can go through a great deal of darkness yet become something beautiful.
Very true-I love that!
This picture was taken right before Hannah went in to get her gallbladder out on Sunday. She was smiling all the way. I think she thought she was in a parade! Who smiles on their way to surgery??
That darn line! It will be gr at when they can take that out. I agree with 100% that nurses are amazing and very very special people!
ReplyDeleteI live that quote too! Good for all of us to think in that perspective!
Love you all and still thinking of you guys and in our prayers 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I've come to believe Nursing is one of the Noble professions and surly they are special people. Hoping Hannah has had a better day. Looking forward to the next update. Worried you are getting worn out so please be sure you and Bob are getting enough rest. Sending our love!
