Hm. Waiting. This is the second day of waiting. I don't think we've ever been so anxious to receive a dismissal. The doctor has been hinting around since Monday morning. Of course, there is a course of action to be taken before the goal can be achieved, but we're almost there.
The blood transfusion on Monday is the best example I have ever seen of an unpleasant situation that is necessary for a pleasant outcome. On top of the expected anxiety over having foriegn blood pumped into her veins, the nurses were havng a rough time with the IV spots. Then the transfusion took HOURS longer than expected. First, there was the vein flush. Then antibiotic... flush... blood... flush... antibiotic... flush... blood... flush... antibiotic... UGH! Poor Mom's veins are just pooped. So are her nerves.
Yesterday was pleasant, as Mom was feeling better. It was amazing to see how quickly the transfusion helped her recovery. As the day wore on, our impending impatience set in. LOL. Here is a synopsis of the day... wake up... walk... eat... walk... visit... check vitals... sit... eat... walk... check vitals... visit... walk... check vitals... eat... walk... sit... you get the picture. Mom is growing weary of the redundancy, and misses home.
It is now 9:30am on Wednesday, and we are waiting on the doctor. Hopefully for a dismissal. Hopefully...
