Days 47 and 48

The last couple of days have been really good. Abby's numbers all have been great even her kidney numbers. We just need her to make a bit more urine and to get some of the fluid off of her body. That is what we are waiting for now. She is still not out of the woods, but she is much closer for sure. She still has quite a bit of pain but they are trying to manage that well for her. Courtney and I had a good visit with her last night we even laughed with her.
Today she is a little more down and quiet. So she could really use some visitors. She doesn't get many visitors these days and that would really help her spirits. She is out of the SICU and in the IMCU (Intermediate care unit) it is on the 2nd floor just follow the signs. You don't have to buzz into that unit but they still only allow 2 visitors at a time. She is directly across from the nurses station so just ask them what room. the only time visitors are not allowed is between 7 and 8:30 in the morning and at night for shift change. So any other time is fine. That would really help her a lot.
So where we stand now is we need her kidney to work a little better and we need for her to get stronger. She is still pretty weak and needs to get stronger so she can move up to the transplant floor. So keep the prayers coming, and lets hope and pray that she continues to make progress and doesn't have anymore complications.

  1. Marcia--Corinne sent me Abby's blog link. I wasn't able to get in before. I'm hopeful she will continue to improve--what a journey your whole family has had. So sorry I haven't been able to see you before now, and felt badly to miss Caleb's wedding. Hopefully I will be able to get up to the hospital this week. I pray Abby will feel the comfort of the Holy Ghost and know that the Lord is aware of her. Hope you will feel His love and concern for you, also.
    Hang in there. Love ya,
    Nola
