DAYS 10 & 11: ANGIE’S JOURNEY   2 comments

Last couple days have been kind of rough. Seems if she has had a good night the days aren’t so good and vice versa. Dealing with lots of pain in area of tubing (G-tube and feeding tube) exiting her body. G-tube seems to be giving her the most discomfort but it is also larger than feeding tube. Keeping G-tube open has been a real problem. Dr. Kim(resident) came in and worked with G-tube for over an hour, he is very intrigued with it. He also made all of us smile with some card tricks. He is in his last week of rotation on transplant ward and we are going to miss him!!!  Angie has always been unique and is getting real tired of it! Praise GOD !!! She has had quite a weight fluctuation also. Came in at 122lb after surgery, a few days with all the IV solution and meds 133lb, now at 115lb. Her blood sugar levels have been staying real stable now that they have her at 45ml of feeding an hour and long lasting insulin (once a day). They are checking levels now every 4 hours. Fingers are liking that a lot!!!! Praise GOD!!!  Robyn her roommate is doing extremely well and is a saint dealing with all the ca motion next to her. No one said you were going to get any rest in a hospital!!! Angie has had bouts of diarrhea and vomiting with her pain. She is strong but wearing down a little. I think we all are but put on the game face!! Her mother is unbelievable and I know everyone knows where Angie gets her strength from along with the GOOD LORD!!! We leave it in his hands. GOD Bless!!!
