Day 19 Post Transplant....

Abby had an eventful day she had PT (physical therapy) and because they gave her a line holiday on Thursday they had to start a new line. They decided to do the type of dialysis that is continuous. VS the type that is a every 3 days for 3-4 hours. That one is a lot harder on Abby and really wears her out. So they will keep her on this one till her Kidney kicks in. So Abby has been sleeping most of the day. She was responsive today though so that is good. She is just very worn out. We are hoping that this other dialysis will keep her more comfortable and eventually more alert.
Abby also had to have some fluid drained from her abdomen it was just a build up of fluid that was accumulating in the abdominal cavity. It happened because her Kidney isn't getting rid of excess fluid in her body. So I am sure she is much more comfortable now that it is gone. So like I said she has a lot going on today but right now she is sleeping and looks peaceful.
I am actually sitting by Abby's bedside right now. Abby is never alone she always has a family member by her side. Except for during shift change when they kick us out. I know that all of us feel the same way, right now we don't have anywhere else we would rather be. Even though right now it is 3:00 A.M. I am happy to be wither her. Abby still is very confused when she wakes up so we want to be here to ease her confusion and her panic. Abby sometimes looks really confused when she looks at us, but I have figured out that it is because she is trying to figure out the time line. She is really confused by the date on the wall. She also seems to be worried about us. Abby showed us her annoyed side today. They were fussing with her and they put a damp rag on her hand and she picked it up and threw it across the room. Way to go Abby we love to see that fighting side of you.
