Bridge finally had a good night sleep last night. They woke her every 4 hours to keep up with the pain medication, but otherwise she was sleeping. Mark and I are taking turns at the hotel which is right next to the hospital. Last night I slept there and tonight is Mark's turn to sleep there. 1 of us in always in the room with Bridge. Bridge got her epidural out of her back this am and another iv left over in her right arm, so 2 things gone. Bridge still has no desire to eat, but when the dietitian came in and told her she could have anything she wanted, she ordered pizza and salad and ate several bits, finally! She wanted to remind us though, in case we were unclear, that there was no way she was having dinner. Bridge again has walked the circle x2 with much under the breath loathing. (I can sort of laugh now, so this is a good thing.) The surgeon came in this morning and said possibly we could go home Friday or Sat. They will do something called a VCUG test to check the kidney before they take out the catheter tomorrow. Every day we have education about how our lives will change and how to take the medications. Lots of information and learning, but we will do it. They will take out her dialysis catheter on Thursday if all goes well and she can void(pee) on her own. Then either on Friday or Sat they will take out her other central line and off we go, just to turn around and come back Tuesday/Friday. They told us though since Christmas falls on a Friday, they will move it to Tue and Thur that week, Bridge was very very happy. So that is it for now, will update again later.
