No nap all day. She stayed up late.
Running up and down the halls.
Walking long distances.
Interested in food.
The neck central line was removed – No more accessories! I helped the nurse and spent 30 minutes trying to carefully remove all of the tape. The nurse couldn’t pull out all the stitches, so she called the charge nurse. The charge nurse wasn’t sure how to get the stitches out without causing Zayne considerable pain, so she called the resource nurse. A scalpel was used, and there were tears, but it is gone.
Zayne is doing so well, that she has been discharged from CICU and is now in the regular cardiac care unit (CCU). We had multiple parades with our 4th of July gear. Zayne even left the CCU to go to another part of the hospital to watch fireworks. I grabbed the room stethoscope so Zayne could listen to her heart – she loved the thumping sound.
Cyclosporin levels needs to be stabilized, renal functions tested, and some other thing. This means blood draws that will hurt since Zayne no longer has tubes coming out of her. This is the start of a long journey of pokes. Cyclosporin is a medicine used to prevent organ rejection; Zayne will need to take twice daily for the rest of her life (or until better technology comes along).
What a fighter she is! I’m so thankful it is going so well. You must be so relieved Randy! Hugs to both
Woop Woop! Go Zayne! This soooooo awesome to see! We need another mommy and Zayne picture. I am sure it is pure joy for both of you!
