Days 37, 38 and 39...

So Abby has been improving still she has had more good things than bad the last 3 days. Tuesday (day 37) She had more urine which is great just under 200cc and she had a lot of visitors so that makes her happy. She has been doing great during physical therapy she is determined to get strong so that makes us happy.

Wednesday was the wedding day and it was a good day for everybody. We all missed Abby that day but she had great friends and family to keep her company. Even a cousin stayed all night on Tuesday so my parents could sleep. And later on we found out this cousin has had some health problems of her own. (Nothing contagious of course) But she forgot about herself to help us what an angel she is. So thank you so much Joey and we hope she is feeling better. Abby's good friends stayed with her most of Wednesday too so thank you to them. Abby also had 500cc of urine output that day too. So that was a nice wedding present to Caleb. We were also blessed to have a live video chat during the reception. Josh our (brother) cousin I say that because he is technically a cousin but more like a brother. He set up skype so we could have her at the reception. It was very nice to have her there in some form. And she was able to talk to people and I think that was nice for some of the wedding guests who know and love Abby.

Day 39 (Thursday) Abby did well in PT again. She stood and marched in place, she is getting stronger everyday. Her blood pressure was good enough for them to be able to take off 2 liters of fluid off during dialysis so that is good. Her legs and abdomen are a lot less swollen now. The doctors are concerned that her pancreas is still leaking and the drains aren't working as well as they would like. So they have scheduled her to have a stint put in her pancreatic duct tomorrow. We are all a little nervous about this. She will have to be put under and be intibated again for the procedure. They will go through her mouth and down to the duct and place the stint. The doctors are first going to try and readjust the drains with bigger tubing to see if that will pull the fluid off to avoid the stint. But for now it is scheduled for 3:00 Friday afternoon. So please keep Abby in your prayers all day we are really nervous about her being under and intibated again. So hopefully the new drain will work and they won't have to do anything invasive. And on a positive note Abby had 350cc of urine output tonight. So her kidney is trying to get rid of fluid. That is a GREAT sign, we don't want to jinx things by saying it is back. Her labs still shows signs that is still not working completely but it is trying and we have complete faith that it will come back and soon. So sleep tight Abby Jean you are in good hands. We all love you so much!
