It's been 24hrs with a new liver and Nahum moved out of the TICU with the remaining piece of his. Shayna's getting a little blood right now since all the fluids they've been pushing today have made her's a little thin. She continues to hold her own; though, I keep forgetting to ask the doctors what her new liver is doing. Hopefully I can get a little technical tomorrow.
This is the first time we saw her around 8pm last night. She's a little puffy but otherwise looking good.
Here's a picture of Shayna with last night's nurse Michael who "was sorry he didn't put a hairbow in her hair" after he cleaned her up but he'd "left the bows in his locker by mistake." She got some loving along with her meds while I got some sleep.
Now you *really* know what your daughter is made of! (I meant to comment on the last post.) I'm sure you'll have an opportune moment to ask about her new liver functioning soon.

So great to read your posts, Patricia. What a trooper little Shayna is. I can't wait to hear her and Nahum's developments. When you get a minute could you send us your address in Pittsburgh? We found a little something for Baby Shayna while we were in New Jersey for Thanksgiving. Alright, Sarai is up so I have to run but I just wanted to say thank you for keeping us posted and to let you know that we are all thinking of you and missing you a ton down here in the burg Xoxox Jenny et al.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pictures! I feel better just seeing her. She is so strong and brave! You look well and rested too. You're such a strong, brave lady. Nahum and Shayna are so lucky to have you. Keep it up, we're all thinking of you all. Let me know when you get my surprise(s)
ReplyDeleteLove and huge, Leslie
PS- is that nurse single/stright? :)
I'm amazed at the medical stuff they can do with someone so small! Glad to hear things are progressing well. Thanks for the videos... I like the garbage can one and your line.."let's not lick it now"
