Today we got moved out of the ICU, YEAH!! The team is amazed at how well Bridge is doing. She so far is excepting her anti-rejection medication seemingly well. She has the occasional itching session, but they give her medication for this which helps. Bridge today is extremely tired, more so than yesterday, but states that she has less pain today. Very moist unproductive cough present but this is expected with all the fluid they originally put in her and how long she was under for. The nursing staff at this hospital are amazing!!!!!!!!!!!! WE got the smack down from administration though for all the people we had coming to see us, so the head nursing member as well as Bridgette's nurse had a talk with us. We are totally fine with that because we are tired to and don't want to get Bridge or us sick. My parents left today as well as Colleen and Paul. Yes that is right, I said Paul. They released him first thing this am. My sister and Paul went to the hotel, took a shower and then he came waltzing into the ICU like he was out for a leisurely stroll. The man is amazing!!!! Bridge was happy to see him but when they left she said, Uncle Paul gave me a kidney that hurts. I'm sorry but sometimes Bridgette is just to cute. The nursing staff from the ICU also asked Bridge before she left if she was going to miss them and she said nope. Matthew went home with Miss Robin Apps, what an angel! She drove all this way just to pick up Matthew and bring him home. As I stated before we weren't allowed anymore visitors, but in Robin fashion, she texts me and states, "we are on 10 south hiding in the bathroom, where is the room?" How great is that. They snuck in and saw Bridge, she was so happy!!!! A huge thank you and lots of love to all the nurses who take care of Bridge and I at dialysis at Albany Medical Center. Celeste, Denise, Ken, Sue, Alan, Laurie and Kiki, Andrew, Jamie and Shana, we love you but are glad we don't have to be there 3x a week anymore. The doctors said we will probably be here till Friday or Saturday if things continue to go well. We have a lot of education now to be taught to Mark and I about all the medications and timing of all of them. We have to be in Boston every Tuesday and Friday mornings by 9am for testing, I believe for the first 6 months and then if everything goes well we then can move one of the mornings to Albany medical center and the other one back in Boston for the following 12 months. It seems like a long haul, but it will fly by I'm sure of it. Thanks again for all the love and will give another update soon.
