Days 30, 31 and 32

Abby is getting better! She still has a ways to go but she has been through a lot and she is making progress so we are thrilled. Tuesday was a slow day (day 30) They wanted her to have a relaxing day so they didn't do any big procedure or tests that day.
On Wednesday day 31 Abby had a big day. She started the day with dialysis and had to have her wound dressing changed as well. So she was tired most of the day. The doctors decided to start Abby on a new medication to help with her pancreas issues. They are trying to avoid surgery because they don't like to mess with the pancreas if they don't have to. The doctors said that the pancreas is an angry organ. So we are hoping that the medicine will help. They are also thinking that they will have to do more wound care as well just to avoid infection. This is a little painful for Abby but they are medicating her for all of the wound care to keep her comfortable.
On Thursday day 32 Abby had to have a CT they are just making sure the drain they put in to drain the pancreatic fluid is working. And to see if she needs another drain in a different area. They said that the drain is working well but there is a pocket of fluid lower down, so tomorrow they will put another drain in lower down. So hopefully they can make her more comfortable with that. Abby had more urine as well, her kidney still isn't working fully, but it is trying. But some urine is better than none. And the big news for today is they think that they will be moving Abby out of ICU.... YIPEE! She will probably go to IMCU which is intermediate care unit, for a few days. Then she will go up to the transplant floor. This means progress, and we are very happy about that. We still need Abby's pancreas to heal and for her kidney to fully work but she is getting better. So please keep the prayers coming, tonight I pray that this medicine will work. Good job Abby you are doing great, keep up the good fight.
