Just An Update

I just talked to my brother. He said they
ended up giving her a hysterectomy because
the bleeding was coming from her uterus
and it wouldn't stop. Now they are saying
the bleeding has stopped. Her family
apologized to my brother and he went in
and saw her. He said she is responding to
him when he talks to her. He told her to
move her thumb and she did. She also
started crying when he was talking to her.
She seems like she's once again making
some progress. I just hope to god nothing
else goes wrong.

Hopefully the hysterectomy fixed the
problem!
When are you going to the hospital
again?
Make sure you keep us updated.

Well, she coded again last night. She had
a mucus plug break off from her lung wall
and it clogged her ventilator tube. They
said they fixed it right away and got her
stable again. Poor girl is catching hell
up there. She makes some progress and
something like this happens. They said
she is still doing ok though. I'm sure
i'll have more news later.

I am so glad that she is doing better or
at least stable and I hope with all of my
thoughts and prayers that she remains that
way and she continues to get better every
moment and I am glad her parents
apologyzed to your brother as I am sure
she would not have wanted that. I am so
glad that your brother got to see her. I
am glad that the bleeding has stopped!
Hopefully, she will get better now! Hope
to hear positive things from you! Please
keep us posted.

They put her on dialysis today. Her
kidneys are under too much stress from all
the medication she's on and they are doing
this to prevent them from failing.
Overall, she is about the same. She
hasn't gotten much better or worse. I
can't wait until I can write some good
news. I did post some pics of my brother
and his baby girl though under a new
topic. She is so sweet!

If .I'm not mistaken, dialysis is when
they use a machine to filter the toxins
out of your blood, if your kidneys are
unable to do the job properly.

Dialysis is basically just filtering the
kidneys when they can't excrete the amount
of fluid or solutes it should. She is
somewhat conscious. They are keeping her
sedated a bit so she doesn't pull out her
tubes. She still tries to pull them out
sometimes. My brother said she looks at
him when he talks to her and she moves her
mouth like she is wanting to say something
but she can't with the endo-tracheal tube
down her throat. It's like she has her
moments but she isn't "all there".

Pretty Good News!

My brother just called me from the
hospital. He said they are now giving her
lasix to get the fluid off her body. (she
is pretty swollen from all the fluid
shifting going on) the doctor said if they
can keep her just like she is for the next
2 days then they will be able to start
removing all her tubes. This is great
news considering they were just telling us
to prepare for her to die. I can't help
but get my hopes up!!

The doctor told us that if they can keep
her stable for just a while longer, they
think she will live. They are going to
start taking out some of the tubes she's
hooked up to over the next few days and
eventually take her off sedation. She is
doing so much better right now. I just
hope everything continues to get better
because she'll make it if that happens.
