We are astounded but not surprised at Heather's progress. It is crazy to think of where she was a week ago verses where she is today. Words can not describe how amazing our God is and what he has done for our family over the past week.
My husband and I and my brother went up to see her tonight. over the past three days I feel I have had my sister back. We laughed, we cried and we reflected about how amazing and scary the week has been but mostly about how we have seen God's hand in all of it.
Heather did not have dialysis today (praise God). We are hoping for no treatment at all tomorrow! Wow! A day without treatment, what will she do all day. :-)
Her numbers were good again (clearly). Platelets are up to 176, hemoglobin at 8.0, creatine 2.94 and LDH 246.
She had a great appetite today which means the 'metal' taste is gone and food sounds good once again. Urine output was at 900 ml as of 11 am ( that is from midnight).
She did not sleep well and nights continue to be an issue. Her body is just sore and she really wants her chiropractor! (Haha) Her headaches are gone...praise The Lord. Yet she is still having nightmares but they think this might be due to the sleeping meds she was on which should now be out of her system. Praying for a good nights rest tonight. We have a 'big' girls night planned tomorrow so she needs her rest. :-)
Continue to pray that She can stay off dialysis.
That she gets restful sleep,
She can come home early next week!
That her hemoglobin jumps to 12 or above.
She is able to go without plasmapheresis.
Give God all glory for the progress she has made. The week could have looked very different for our family and we are so thankful for God's presence and grace!
