Well back on the roller coaster ride, the infection has spread. It is now on the other side of her groin area and down her left leg. Bridge also has no appetite again, they think she is backed up even though she has had a couple of loose stool. Bridge has thrown up x2 already this morning. They told us definitely not until Monday or Tuesday would we be able to go home. They want to make sure the infection doesn't continue to spread, so they need to keep her on iv antibiotics and if she can not keep anything down then this will be a big problem.( all her anti-rejection medications are by mouth, not iv). Bridgette also still has a lot of fluid on board her body. She is about 6-7 pounds over her dry weight. Her legs look like the Michelin baby. The key is walking. We walked 13 laps around the nurse's station yesterday and plan to do the same today. They also are still pushing the fluids on Bridgette even though she is 3rd spacing with all the other fluid. They won't send her home until she can drink a minimum of 1.5L. The goal is 2L but they will be ok with the 1.5L. They state that the kidney is still asleep and that it needs to stay hydrated, eventually when the kidney is working 100% it will start emptying the water from her body. If we get released Mon or Tue we have to be back here Christmas eve at 9am for our clinic day. They usually are held on Tue/Fri, but due to the holiday, it has been moved. Did I say that Boston is now becoming my least favorite city. We are supposed to get a huge storm today, I'm kind of excited since there is no snow here, but I really wish we were in the comforts of our home watching it from there instead. Hope everyone is doing well. To my clinic girls, I'm sorry I'm not there. I promise next year I will work everyday, every holiday, you name it. Patty hope you are doing ok, I'm thinking of ya. Love to all, Megan
