So the roller coaster continues, Abby had a good night last night and a good morning today. She responded well to PT and was following commands. She had to do another round of dialysis today so that is 8 hours of dialysis in 2 days. It really knocked her out she was non responsive and sleeping all afternoon and night. She was having a hard time coughing stuff up tonight so they had to suction her and it really just made Abby mad and gave her a bloody nose. She is just so sleepy so it is harder to make her do things. It is a normal response from dialysis to be sleepy especially when combined with all the toxins in her body from her kidney not working.
It is hard for us not to get discouraged sometimes. We just would really love for Abby's kidney to start working. That would help a lot of things. She really needs to be more alert but it is hard for her to be alert when her kidney isn't doing it's job. She started tolerating feedings again today so that is good news. Abby has made a lot of improvements in the past 2 weeks. We just want to see more of Abby we want to see her make big improvements and for her to be herself again. We know she will get there and we know we have to be patient. And we are very thankful for the progress she has made. So we will just pray that her kidney will start working. We know prayer works, last Sunday when everyone fasted for Abby that day she was off of the vent. So thank you for all of the prayers on Abby's behalf. Our friends and family are the best!
