Kim is very sleepy today. The last few weeks have finally caught up with her. The surgery and the medications that she is on contribute to the severe fatigue. It looks like she may get a fantastic nap today. That first 24 hours was a busy time period. Her nurses had to check her vitals and run labs nearly every hour. Now that the first 24 hours are done she doesn't have to be interrupted as much. She is getting a GREAT nap right now (
post was originally started at 3:00p). Pray that she doesn't need to cough. That alone keeps waking her up. She then needs to grab a pillow, brace herself, and bear through it. Please pray that she gets some GREAT sleep today and tonight. Her body really needs that to mend well.

Oral medication and kidney transplant diary. The diary was provided
by the hospital so that Kim is able to record ALL of the many, many details
that are involved in the recovery process: fluid intake, food, medications, etc. |

At this point, Kim is taking approximately 15 different medications.
Honestly, none of them are pain management medications.
Rejoice with me: she is NOT reacting negatively to ANY of them. |

I will EXTOL Thee my God O King And I will BLESS Thy name forever and ever. Every day I will BLESS Thee and I will PRAISE Thy name forever and ever. GREAT is the LORD and highly to be PRAISED and HIS GREATNESS is unsearchable. One generation shall PRAISE thy works to another and shall DECLARE Thy MIGHTY ACTS.

Kim, your progress is amazing. Get some well deserved rest. Love, Carolyn and Loren
ReplyDelete@Valerie, she has held on to those like a toddler would a blankie. She asks for them if they are not in reach. They are absolutely her favorite. It is so sweet to see her find so much comfort in them.
