Day 10: Another Challenging Day

Hey Everyone,

I apologize for the day gap.

Yesterday was 'stable', meaning there was not much improvement, but no decline either. Hattie was happy to have her older brother around for a few days to share stories and bring calm and "logic" (in her mom's words) to the situation. Unfortunately, today he had to return to work.

Today was tough again for Hatts, she remains in ICU and has been getting very little rest because the anti-rejection drugs have her in a constant state of paranoia. There is also some 'moisture' on the lungs, so once again she was intubated and sedated so she can get some rest.

The good news is that her infection is gone and she is only on Tylenol 3's for pain management. It's one step forward and two steps back.

And so continues the steady climb.

- Lindsay

Lindsay thank you for your update. I am so glad to hear the infection is gone. It sounds like the pain management is getting better to. Now we just have to work on the others. I was happy to hear you had the big cheeses all checking you out the other day. Hi to the whole gang there. Love Patty xxoo
