Good morning to everyone, today we are at dialysis early this morning due to the fact that Bridge has some more noticable swelling in her neck. She has 3 distinct symetrical rolls that are fluid filled looking that wrap around her neck. The pediatric nephrologist took a look at Bridge and now has set her up with an appointment with an ENT doctor. The nephrologist states that this is very unusual and hasn't seen this before. Bridge tends to drift her head back somewhat to get a better airway. Her oxygen levels are good and she has no respiratory problems, but still very concerning(wondering with the last surgery if there were any more complications with the intubation other than we were told?) Everyone cross your fingers that nothing is wrong. The weekend was good, I took the kids to see the movie "A Christmas Carol "with Jim Carey and it was good, somewhat scary at times for the kids but they had fun. Sunday got in the back hoe, yes you heard it right, the back hoe, and picked up huge logs on our property while Mark used the chain saw and cut them up, oh my god how fun was that!!! Now I'm hooked, what a fun toy. Well we have 24 days left until the surgery, coming fast. The surgeon called Paul to see if he had changed his mind or not and of course it was a big NO. The surgeon also told Paul that after review of the CT scan that they would be taking his right kidney for Bridgette. There was also a boy this week who we have met since coming to Albany Medical Center for dialysis, who was put on the list on Monday and received a kidney on Thursday, we are so happy for his family, congradulations!!! Once again thank you to everyone for all your continued love and support, we couldn't do this without everyone of you. Will give updates when there is anything new. Much love, Megan
