“Good Morning, Mommy” along with vigorous shaking is how I was greeted at 6 am. With rounds at 12:30 am, and many alarms going off during the night (as always), the 6 am call seemed a bit early.
I am very happy that she is feeling better, and looking good. The transplant doc told me that yesterday’s echo was looking much better on one side of her heart (I can’t recall which side), and the other side was about the same but still much improved from admission. Milrinone taper will continue, and we may be able to leave the Cardiac ICU on Wednesday and move to the Cardiac Care Unit.
If Zayne continues to improve, we should be able to go home on Friday, after her final plasma exchange. During rounds, I asked that they stop Lasix on the days of plasmapherisis, so that she doesn’t get dehydrated again. Hopefully, she can just stop taking Lasix.
Taking meds in pill form is getting better and better every day. We just need applesauce and have the large pills cut. Zayne even asked to take Tacrolimus in pill form (Tacro is one of her everyday immunosurpression meds that she has been taking for the past 2 years).
Thinking and praying for you, Zayne and Randy. Hope you get well soon and we hope to see you at Taekwondo (or at least Zoomkwondo until Covid ends)
