Hannah is a funny girl. The nurses will often say things like "Would you like to take your pills?" "Would you like to go to therapy?" "Would you like to go shower now?" She thinks its dumb that they ask her when it's not really an option so she has started saying, (in her most polite voice) "Is that optional?" And almost always they say, "No." And she says, "Oh." ha ha So today since about 4:30 this afternoon her heart has gone into some crazy arythmia. They've been watching it close and called a few doctors in. One just left who said they will just watch it tonight and cardiology will see her in the morning. Anyway, Hannah says; "Well, would a pace maker be optional?" ha ha They just looked at her like she was crazy. I thought it was a good question.
So I think we are in for a long night. I know I need to look away from the monitor and try to go to sleep but I can't. I have this very irrational thought in my very tired brain that says if I watch the monitor all night everything will be ok. So far that's not working out but you never know when it might actually start??? People were probably happier before these monitors were invented. Ignorance is bliss. I'm pretty sure I need to quit writing now to give my full attention to this beautiful blinking monitor, but I will let you know tomorrow how everything turned out. I'll try to write an update in the morning. Good night. Please pray for Hannah Rigby tonight.
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??
I like Hannah's sense of humor and completely understand where she is coming from! I also get how you feel about watching the monitor. Hoping will all my heart your morning report will be a positive one! We are praying for Hannah Rigby and for your family - praying you will be comforted and know we care. Hugs for all!
