Day 13 post transplant....

So right now everything just feels like a waiting game. We are waiting for things to happen. We are waiting for her Kidney to work, we are waiting for her to be extibated, we are waiting for her to tolerate feedings. I just wish I could wave a magic wand and make all of these things happen. But I can't so we pray and wait. Abby had an ok day today not much change. They did start TPN which is an IV nourishment. They keep trying to do NG feedings but she hasn't been tolerating them. She needed some form of nourishment to get better so they started the TPN. I really hope it helps her be more alert and start healing faster. She hasn't had much nourishment in the past 2 weeks so I am sure her body needs the nourishment.
The plan is to test Abby tomorrow to see if she can be extibated. If it doesn't go well they will have to decide what to do from there. They really don't want to keep her intibated much longer. We are hoping for a small miracle and that she will take a big deep breath tomorrow when they turn the machine off. She really has been doing most of the breathing on her own the machine just helps a really small amount. They are just worried because she is breathing really fast. They also need her to be able to cough and swallow. So please pray that all will go well when they do decide to extibate.
That is really all for today Abby was very tired today and a little agitated. But no significant changes that were negative or positive just stayed about the same.
Thanks again for all of the prayers and thoughts for Abby and our family. There are a lot of people and wards who are going to fast for Abby tomorrow, so if you want to join in on the fast for Abby we need all the blessings we can get.
