I’m not sure if she was in a lot of pain this day or what, but she was very very sad this day. The kids were all still gone (thank you Momma!) and so we were able to focus on her a lot. Here’s what I texted to my mom: “Ruby is sad sad sad…
December 21
Phone update from 9:30 in the morning: Had a good night. Little sad from pain. X-ray looked good but diastolic pressure still high. Normal is 40-60 and it’s been in the 80’s. Systolic looks good though. They are giving her double the dose of medicine to bring it down. But they have to make sure…
December 20
In the Cardiac Surgical Unit, things are a lot slower paced and laid back. It was difficult at times to feel like she was receiving the best care because the nurses didn’t seem to be as specialized as the ones down in the CICU—I often felt like I knew more than they did, which is…
December 19
(from 12:15 am before I left to go try and sleep) Ruby did much better sleeping Wednesday night. They seemed to finally be in control of her pain and itching. Such a huge difference! Dillon went home to sleep that night and did some work at home. When I left Wednesday night to go to…
December 18 {day after surgery}
The second day was probably just as hard as the first, if not harder. When I got back to the room after trying to sleep for a couple hours, Dillon was by her side as I said and reported that she had an awful night. She was still in some pain and very irritated and…
December 17 {Surgery Day}
I set my alarm to feed Ruby once more at 4:30 am. It was hard to not be sad. I prayed really hard that this wouldn’t be my last time nursing her. Do you see a recurring thought here? :) “This could be the last time this happens…” You can bet my prayers were very…
Ruby’s Surgery {Dec. 16—pre-op}
We’ll just start out by saying the day before was crazy and nothing like I hoped it would be. Too much to get ready for with being away from the kids for who knows how long. Too much cleaning, too much packing, too much stress and worry. Ruby had her pre-op appointment at PCH and…
angels
I wanted to document some feelings and thoughts as Ruby’s surgery date is so close. This Tuesday! I so wanted to have the last few months all caught up for blogging. It just wasn’t possible and I kept praying that it would be. The thing is, and this is a morbid thought, but in case…
some days you just have to laugh…
Ruby’s surgery is set for the 17th of December. We have less than two weeks of Christmas with our kids. That makes me kind of (really) sad. And I’m anxious and scared and all sorts of other things. I have a list a mile long of stuff that has to get done before-hand, and it’s…
heart full of gratitude
Today is my birthday and my heart is full. It was fast Sunday. Our new ward and our old ward united in fasting and praying for Ruby, along with our extended families. I couldn’t have asked for a better present from everyone! I felt like I needed to bear my testimony because I could not…
