So emotions have been running high these last couple of days. We would be lying if we said we were all coping well. But none of us thought this journey would be this long. We have had more bumps in the road then we could have even imagined. The biggest of which has been the dang pancreas. The angry organ even the doctors say don't mess with the pancreas. Well it has been messed with and it hasn't been happy so it has caused some issues. Issues that are being dealt with, but have caused things to slow down a bit. The biggest worry lately has been the damage that the pancreas enzymes have caused. They have made her vessels week as well as her organs. She already had one bleed so they are watching her very closely just in case she has another. But she is doing well today.
So day 45 (Wednesday) not much happened Abby was just very weak and in a lot of pain. And we all felt a little defeated because we thought she would be moved to the transplant ward. But because of the recent bleed that was put off.
Day 46, today was a good day, not fun being in the hospital on a holiday but Abby had a pretty good day. She is now out of the ICU, not on the transplant floor yet but she is at least heading in the right direction. She is in the IMCU (intermediate care unit) So hopefully this means she will soon be on the transplant floor. Abby's labs were all good today. Her liver numbers are normal again and so is her pancreas numbers. Her Kidney numbers are better then they have been so that is good. She is still making urine as well so that is good. So as long as we can stay in this direction she will be 100% before we know it. I say this hoping not to jinx anything. We are starting to be afraid to be excited about progress because it seems like as soon as we are something bad happens. But I have faith that Abby is going to be okay. She seemed really good today she was teasing me and everything. Abby is such a strong girl and I know that she must be because she has been given this trial because she can handle it. Abby is a special spirit we have always known that, but know you can see it. We are so very thankful today for our Abby and we know everything is going to be alright.
