Forgive me for being gone. Just been busy or haven't felt like typing.
Lots of things going on, but I'm making it a short post.
Last week her hemoglobin dropped to 7.5 and she received 2 units of blood. She ran a low grade fever for days. Slept all day on Christmas. Friday and Saturday she had fast breathing and on Sunday she had fast breathing and very labored breathing. I knew that was not a good sign, suctioning did not help her. Her blood gas was normal at 5 in the evening on Sunday, at 4:30 Monday morning they called me and said she had to go back on full vent. I was so upset, she didn't even make it off the vent this time.
There is a good part to this though. She has some pneumonia in her right lung. Probably the reason for the troubles. They drew blood and took urine to do tests and cultures on. Infectious disease doctor is bacck on the case and has her on antibiotics. They did cancel her bone marrow biopsy for last night though.
I am going home sometime today. I've come to the point I really need to go home for a bit. I am officially giving up my room, so pray there is one when I get back on Thursday or Friday. This is the best thing for me to do, trust me and hopefully my time will start over again. I don't think she is going anywhere soon and this gives me more time to be with her.
Of course I will have the hospital on the phone a couple times a day!!

I think a little time at home will give you a much needed break and therefore a chance to come back strong for her!! Good decision. You've been an angel to your mom to say the least!! Lisa Kidd
