Today is Wed the 14th of October and we only have 2 more days left until we can go home, YEAH!!!!!! Bridge finally got moved at 10pm last night to a transplant floor, she is out of the ICU. WE are so happy. Bridgette had her central line pulled but unfortunately meant that she would then need a peripheral line placed which she was not to pleased about, that was a little traumatic, but she got over it quickly. I am having them do an ultrasound today on her left leg since there were 2 major lines so close and does complain on and off of pain in that leg only, not the stomach where she had surgery but her leg, I want to make sure that she doesn't have a clot, so that will be done after dialysis today. Bridgette got up and walked the hallway today and felt good, a little weak, but good. She is completely off of oxygen this am and they have stopped her antibotics. The whole team came in this am and told us that she definetely aspirated during intubation and had her lung collasped but they are comfortable with taking her off of all antibotics at this point which is great. She currently is receiving dialysis and her blood pressure, her oxygen and her heart rate are fabulous. blood presure is 114/60 with a pulse of 123 and an oxygen level of 97%. Bridge was able to receive sips of liquid last night and did very well, they have switched her to a soft diet today. It will be very strict fluid restriction again, 1 liter a day only and everything has to be measured, not guessed. Mark and I actually slept in the hotel together last night(no nothing happened) since Nana is here and Bridge is stable, but we were back in first thing this am before rounds. The team also this morning told us that they are putting of the transplant. They feel that her lungs need 7-8 weeks of healing time before they will do the surgery again and this time they already have a different plan of action. Bridge will immediately go to ICU after transplant, not all transplant patients do, they came come to the transplant floot, but they feel that with what has taken place, that she needs closer monitoring. They also said that the pain control issue will be addressed in a different fashion. They feel that she didn't have adequate pain control(enough to deep breath and cough which contributed to her lung filling up) so they will be giving her an epideral as well as mostly likely a pca pump that will automatically give her medication. The other news which we are bummed about is that the transplant now is the 17th of December and most likely will be in the hospital for 2 weeks. They assured us that there are more santa claus's here than anywhere else in the world. They also said we could bring a small artfical tree in, oh yeah, but we will make the best of it. The main focus is Bridge and her health, nothing else. We were told by one of the doctors that at one point he didn't know how the situation would go, it was so touch and go.(blood pressure 50/27, heart rate 207 and oxygen level of 72). I am glad he told me that because I felt the same way, and I didn't know if it was because I am a nurse, or if it was my fear as a mom, so I never verbally said it out loud, but when he did, I just broke down, like holy crap, it was a make or break situation at one point. But my fighter is still here, I mean Bridgette means "The Strong" so what else can I say. Thank you everyone and I mean everyone, don't think we don't know what is going on since we are not home, we get updates all the time and are so thankful to have such a great community filled with friends and family. Love to all, Megan and Mark and Miss Bridge, Matthew also gives his love and thanks, I can't wait to get home and see my boy!
