Day 28......

So it has been exactly 4 weeks since the transplant. This past week Abby has made so much progress! Last Sunday we were all very frustrated because Abby seemed so sick and was asleep all the time. She wasn't responsive at all. But this whole week she has been pretty responsive. And today Abby was doing so well she was able to go outside. Yup that is right she went outside in a wheelchair with her nurse, my mom and Courtney. This seems insignificant but it means progress. Abby is 100% herself again she stayed awake all day, she used her computer and phone. She even was sarcastic with my mom and me today as well. Of course she still has a few hurdles to get over but she is so strong and ready to beat this whole thing. Her blood pressure is more stable so they are hoping to start the hemodialysis tomorrow. That is the one I have mentioned before that is only 3 times per week. It is a little harder on her then the continuous but it also works better and she doesn't have to be hooked up all of the time. So if she does well on it she can leave the ICU. That would be very good and we would be happy about that. But what would be even better if her Kidney and her Pancreas got better. We still have faith that her kidney will come back and same with her pancreas.
Abby is getting so strong she is doing very well with physical therapy and she even does more than she has to. So she is determined to get better so we know she will. She already has done so well and has come so far so we know she will make a full recovery with time.
Today our family is thankful for Abby and to have her around to talk to again. We finally have our light at the end of the tunnel. So Abby keep up the fight you are doing awesome. We love you and couldn't imagine life without you! And just so all of you know Abby read the blog today and also all of the comments you all have left. She really appreciates the love and support from all of her friends and family.
