Mon.Sept 8
Here it is afternoon already, Little slow getting the week started. She rested all morning, had a cat scan, X-rays, and learning the ropes to giving herself insulin shots!!! The extra fluids aren't willing leaving her body but the Dr. informed us this morn. it is more important to have healthy kidneys than overly attacking them to relieve the fat ankles and feet ( not to mention hands,face, belly,arms). I agree, we can deal with some swelling if we can keep her vital organs working proper. Did it frost at home??? It overcast and cold here. Can't believe its fall and back to school already. They are weaning her off I.V.'s and going pill form trying to get her ready to be an out patient. We are going to go to the half way house for a couple week, it is close to the clinic and she isn't stable enough right now that I feel safe being any further than that from a Dr. As well little Hannah has a baby as well to see to. This in the end will make everyone some what more comfortable. The rest of the week we will be schooled on so much, it makes me so nervous cause you have just got to get it right.. Will report back tomorrow, hope this finds everyone doing GREAT Love to all chick
Hi there--It was really nice here today. But really felt like fall. Glad to hear things are moving along--keep fighting! love and hugs--staci and tate
ReplyDeleteChicken and Brenda,
ReplyDeleteHope things get better for you real soon. We are all pulling for you and sending strength and courage to to push forward to healing. If you don't hear from me for a day or so I have to go to Ranch A for the WBHLI retreat and not sure if I will have internet or not. Will be praying for you both. HUGS from HOME

Keep fighting you are doing so great!! So glad to hear that you may be getting out of that hospital soon!! We are so proud of you both for fighting and being as strong as you are! We had a pretty busy day today..school, practice and a team dinner. Just got Raegan to bed and Peyton is on her way. Kirk is actually on the phone with you right now!! We love you and hope to see you soon!! Love,

Chicken & Brenda,
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like school started for all kids even you. By the time you leave you could be a nurse if they train you to take care of patients like Brenda. Brenda is lucky to have you there, as a mother you have a personal connection--not that the nurses arn't great there but when Brenda needs to unload some pentup feelings, she can talk to you and you will be honest and loving.
If they are cutting back on her drugs, it sounds like everything is going along as expected. Hopefully her day 21 will be the start of a new beginning of good health. Thanks for keeping us informed--hope all continues to go smoothly.

Sounds like you have a busy week ahead. But, knowing you will be in a different environment has to be exciting. It has and will be a long process, but so worth it in the end. Love to both of you....Helen
