Quick note. We are home. Did not have access to internet and was so busy even though a long week it went by fast. Jamie was in surgery 6 hours and a few minor complications after surgery. B/P was too low, bad sickness & itching from Morphine, Bad bladder problems, in fact that is one of the big reasons we didn't get to come home until today. Had severe bladder spasms and couldn't go on her own. She was straight cathed first, then foley was put back in and urologist was called in. She was in agony with this. We wanted to shout out today when she was able to go on her own. Developed fluid on lungs from the surgery not from not coughing. This was interstitial not from aspiration. They had doubled fluids because of B/P then they decreased because fluid on lungs and tried not to give her Lasix which worked because they didn't. Then her potassium was low so had to switch to Pot fluid in IV. She was put on O2 until yesterday morning. Yesterday was our big turn around day. Scared us Sun as she had two pints of blood in surgery and her crit dropped to 19 Sun and she had to get two more. She looked awful. I know this is random but I thought of youall everyday. Anyway, we are home, she is doing great and thank you to everyone. Renee, how is Joseph. I will post more later am really tired. THank you to all for the special notes and prayers. Can't wait to hear from everyone. Thanks again for everything and glad to be on the other side.
