I think.. Not

Mariska's team came by. They talked about sending he home and having us call Thursday with a check in.    Also to stop cellcept.

That changed when she got sick after they got here. She can't say in RTU (rapid treatment unit ) longer then 23 hours. They asked me what I think.   Since she's still in a lot of pain and cant keep anything in. I feel shes better off here to stay hydrated.   I had also planned to stay until Wednesday. They laughed. Looks like we earned a room on the floor.   Just waiting for a few discharges.  

Mariska had a tricky blood draw but finally got it working. She was doing ok this morning.   About 30 mins after her meds and the anti nausea she went really white for about am hour until she got sick again. Blah. She needs to feel better. She has been so sick for 2weeks tomorrow.

Thanks for the prayers. Its helped us deal with life here and is keeping her brave.

Sweet dreams?

Glad the phlebotomist woke me before Mariska.   Guess they want more blood then 3mils this morning.
    IV Team is getting to reknow us pretty fast.        Forgot this place wakes you up more then a new born babe.   Im sure blood shot eyes are just the welcoming party to life. Forgot what the every 4 hour vitals are like.    I should have something smart to say after rounds. For now its ramblings of a sleep mother. 

TMI alart here.   The nurse said Mariska's bathroom runs smell like a viral infection. Which is loads better then a bacterial.  

She was able to keep her pancake dinner down. Wahoo for agreeable foods.

Am I mean for convincing mariska that eating sugar makes her sick. Ha. When she doesnt feel well she wont eat anything overly sweet. She's so strong and full of wisdom. I've always told her she was born with an old sprit.  I know she forgets to be a kid. Good thing Kamiah makes her laugh.

Kamiah can't visit for a while, she thinks it's funny to make gagging/throwing up sounds! She's a gem for it.  So hard not to laugh!!

Sam is staying home with Kamiah tomorrow. Guess his new job has more free time then planned.

Hey! Sam got a promotion.  :o)  he now does what I call the programming grunt work. Hehe finally a step into the right field. Way to go babe.
