Jane did not have one of her best days….
1. She was put into an incubator to avoid ALL stimuli and workload on the body, they want her completely relaxed
2. She is back on the paralytic drug so no more opening of the eyes or moving around (She wont be able to show us anymore if she is in pain because she wont be able to move…or squeeze our hand or stick out her tongue or yawn…)
3. She is back on her cardiac meds
4. Her lactate levels -a number they look at when doing a blood gas- are high (that is a bad thing).
5. She is swollen all over again, her poor little eye looks like she has a huge, swollen black eye
6. Her foley catheter was put back in her (and it took 3 times for them to do it successfully. She kept squeezing my finger when they would poke at her and couldnt get it in)
***Something is not right and the docs dont even know what it is. They started her on a new med to make her pee and thankfully that has started to work this evening. She hadnt peed all day and then about 6:30pm she started making urine. Hopefully, that helps out all of this mess…WHAT A DAY!
I am thinking of you and praying for you. Jane is so lucky to have the love she has- this is hard with a senior citizen, I can only imagine the heart ache with a baby. XXO
Just keep strong. Poor little Jane – but she needs alllll the relaxation she can get and as difficult as it is for you two, you need to get your rest too so you can be strong for Jane! Miss you guys! Love. Prayers.
Good Morning to you both, I know it must be difficult to get to receive rest for your soul, mind and weary bodies,, especially when your precious Jane is fighting so hard. But I hope your night had some peaceful rest.
Praying that Jane comes thru this episode and that her little body receives healing and overcomes this setback and that there will be positive news re: her liver very soon.
I sincerely feel compassion for you and am so sorry that this an experience you have to endure. It is really trying on you, I’m sure. All of these ups and then downs, trials currently and unfortunately – there will be more in the future – that is life! But as believers in a Compassionate and living God, these. trials we endure makes us better, not “bitter”. Through this you will be stronger, stronger because of your. faith. Our faith in God, paired with the love we experience from others and …hope; the hope we have in God, that He will bring us (You) through this wearisome time. This setback is temporal, and we pray not only for health but for joy in your future.
Remember, God told Jeremiah “I know what I have planned for you, to give you prosperity, I don’t plan to harm you, but to give you Hope and a Future”
Chapter 29:11
Psalms 34:18
The LORD is close to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
