“Why do I need another COVID test” and “I’m scared of the COVID test” is repeated multiple times every day. Zayne was supposed to have the test on Saturday, but she asked to have it the day of the catherization (we’ll need to be at the hospital at 6 am Monday so they have time to process the test). We’ll probably need to go even earlier, because there will be a lot of stalling and crying.
Two heating pads on both arms, a special light, and they still can’t draw blood without multiple pokes and lots of painful ‘needle searching for vein’. Apparently, Zayne doesn’t have good veins for blood draws. The successful poke was in her hand – which Zayne finds to be more painful.
Zayne is not liking the hospital anymore, because hospital = pain.
Results from Thursday (June 4, 2020) clinic visit was good. Heat rate is still “down” in the 120s and no change on echo. Donor specific antibodies have not increased (we’ll find out more after the results from her biopsy on Monday). Platelets are a little too high, and Magnesium too low; aspirin has been added to the med list and Magnesium increased.
We’ll go for a bike ride this weekend to help her get her mind off of Monday. Today, Zayne seems to be eating a little more and she her stamina is slowly improving.
