Hello everyone! Thankfully my breathing is back to normal and I am off the Oxygen as of Sunday, My kidney creatinine level continues to creep up and I will likely stay in the hospital until it begins a downward trend. There are a few possibilities for this increase...the medicines I am taking and the fact that I am no longer getting fluids through the IV. All under review/discussion by my medical team- my nurse Julie calls this phase the cha - cha (two steps forward one step back).
Quick Family update - Emma and Joe were on Spring break last week. Joe went to Spain (for 2 weeks) and is having a wonderful time. He's been to Madrid, Seville and spent a week with his host family in Granada.
Emma kept busy with friends - in fact her girl scout troop selected our home for an Earth Day project. They did some yard clean up and planted flowers and a beautiful azalea bush. What a kind, hard working group of girls and GS parents - many thanks.
I hope to know tomorrow what my next steps will be. Thanks for checking in and will keep you posted
Love
Maureen

Hey Maureen,
ReplyDeleteI'm more of a 2-step country girl than the cha-cha...but whatever it's called, let's figure out how to dance the he** out of there!! Keep up the good work on your end, and we're praying the medical team gets it all figured out soon. I hope they don't confiscate Joe's passport in Spain...I have visions of them loving him and not wanting to let him leave! I am sure he has had a great time with a fab bunch of kids from NAHS!!

Hi Maureen...How wonderful the girls spent time giving your landscape some TLC. I am sure this was a way to give Emma some TLC too. Can't wait to hear about Joe's trip. I bet the host family wants to keep him and that they'll be enjoying your gracious hospitality in the future. See you soon. Denise
