Greetings All,
Wow, what a big day Danna has had. She is doing well and progressing with her recovery. Last night it was finally determined that her epidural was no longer working, so now she is on a PCA pump for pain management. She slept well from midnight to 3am and 3:30-5am. At 5am the nurse came in to check on her because her heart rate jumped high, as well as her temperature. After lab tests, xray, and multiple evaluations it has been initially determined that all issues are due to the surgery and her body adapting to dialysis. We will have blood cultures back tomorrow to assist with final determination. She left the room this morning at 9:45am for xray, then went to dialysis from 10:30am-1:30pm, and then returned to the room around 2pm. She has also been walking and sitting up most of the afternoon and evening. Mom went home this afternoon with Dylan and Allie. Dylan has an Odyssey of the Minds competition on Saturday that he had to be back for. Mom will come back to Wichita sometime this weekend. Phyllis and Dorthy stayed with Danna this afternoon and I went back to the apartment for a nap and shower. Danna is settling down for the evening and we are hoping things are calm and quiet. She will have a full day of recuperation tomorrow and will not do dialysis again until Saturday we are thinking. I have been reading to her your comments and well wishes. She has enjoyed them. Thanks so much for everything!!! Please continue to keep her in your prayers for healing and a speedy recuperation.
God Bless,
Deanna

I knew a lot must be going on - you hadn't blogged all day. You all are very tired I'm sure. Danna you're going to get through this - you're in good hands all the way around. Hope I can help in some way tomorrow. God bless, Melva
ReplyDeleteDanna & Deanna,
ReplyDeleteThink of you constantly. Praying that this is the best day so far. I get a call from Aunt Vada every morning wanting to know how you are doing. She is not into the computer age and doesn't want to learn. I will keep her posted.
Love to both of you and yours,
Sharon
Hi Danna,
ReplyDeleteAllie, Kenzie, and I are going to head to Wichita in the morning. I hope you are up for visitors! We are also going to have some girl hang-out time. I am planning on taking them shopping for track shoes and Kenzie wants to get her ears pierced a second time. Not sure on that one yet. Let me know if you need anything at all and we will see you tomorrow.
Love,
Karie

ReplyDeleteHi again Danna,
ReplyDeleteJackie and Julie have been faithfully following your blog and are wanting to respond, but unfortunately they don't know how and they needed my help. I think I have them on the right path and they should be posting soon. I guess middle school teachers are not as technology savy as us elementary teachers :). Sorry Jackie and Julie, I couldn't resist, LOL!
Danna keep up the good work, I am so happy to hear you are going well, and jealous you are getting to spend so much time with your sister. I would love to spend that much time with not, just not for the same reason. I am glad you are keeping every one updated this way, it is awesome. Deana,you are an awesome sister and I know that Danna is greatful to have you there!!!!
