G-g-g-g-Good M-m-m-m-Morning!
That "F" word applies as "freezing"...
As I look outdoors, I see such beautiful sunlight relecting off my fields of white; making everything seem so very beautiful.
Unfortunately, looks are deceiving, and that statement is the Alpha and the Omega in Flintville today.
I awoke to 3 below zero...
(And we must be having a veritable heat wave as it is now 5 above)!!!
Ooooh, lucky us! And still another "F" word too...
Casey is still asleep, and after having had such a terrible day yesterday I will not be waking her.
We still have not heard back on her lipase counts, but know if they come back elevated (or doubled, as was the case yesterday with her amylase count), she will be admitted to the hospital.
Yesterday morning started out with more than panic after Roberta said she would be here by 7... And not getting here until after 7:30. I knew the roads were pretty slick from the lake effect snow we had gotten. And I also know she does not have a cell phone. (A long half an hour for me).
But all was well for those moments. She dropped off Gabriel, (and some meatloaf she had made), and was off to her job. Slowly but surely.
A little while later to have Casey come down. A bit of a headache, and didn't want any breakfast.
I was doing my dishes when all of a sudden she was once more in terrible pain.
WTF????????
A quick call to her doctor, and he wanted to see her immediately. Along with orders to take some of her dilaudid (sp) as soon as possible.
Start the car to warm it up.
Re~dress, and pack up my funny little cute man.
.
.
.
.
And we were off...
...Within minutes of getting to the clinic, she was all hooked up to the IV, (the first attempt not so good in her right "too oft abused" veins). And to quickly have received some phenergan (sp) for her nausea too.
.
.
curled up on the bathroom floor
almost blue from barely breathing
and in absolute agony...
.
.
Gabriel, (being much like his Mama when the needles come out), decided that while Auntie Casey was getting her IV was a very good time to fall asleep (pass out ?), in my arms.
After he began to snore, I settled him down in the corner of the room; to nap on all of the jackets we had thrown there.
.
.
And that he had brought his orb.
.
.
Casey has been asleep for the most part since we got back home in the afternoon. Up for a few hours on and off last night, and wishing that sleep would come. (Thank God it finally has)...
I promise to keep you all updated as soon as I know more. But maybe to ask for a few more prayers should you think of it?
Each pancreatitis attack she has destroys a little bit more of her pancreas...
Pray that this ends for her before a transplant is needed.
In the meantime, please also check out my blogs about Organ Donation.
Please feel free to copy all of those links and to send them to all of your family and friends.
The very best Christmas gift ANYONE could EVER receive would be the gift of life.
>CLICK HERE< for those two earlier blogs. Please.
For right now though I am so cold and I just want to find something warm to drink.
(No, not Caseys very special eggnog)! hehehe
Have a great Thursday. Keep those prayers and thoughts coming in!
And please also DO make sure you let your family and friends and doctors KNOW your wishes regarding organ donation should an untimely worst happen to you.
I thank you for that.
Love to all!
XOXO
Anne
