She Wants OUT! ;-)

Good Morning Everyone;
I know that many of you know most of this already, but I am just copying my todays blog from over at 360.
There is a part that you may not know though. (This, as you near the last 1/3rd of the entry).

Suffice to say that Casey is definitely wanting OUT of the hospital...
And I am definitely wanting OFF this roller coaster.

Good Morning Everyone!
Concerning Yahoo 360, I do not think that I am back.
But I have received emails asking very kindly for an update.
Do not feel the need to comment on my 360, God knows I probably won't be able to even read them.

(That is, IF you can even leave one in the first place).

So here goes your update...

Before her surgery
In the wee hours of 12-18-08

.
.

Greg,
visiting Casey 12-19-08

.
.

All of her lines- afterwards...

.

Getting a hand massage
12-22-08
.
.

To date, she has had 7 units of blood.
.

.
.

Policy in transplant centers:
NO LIVE PLANTS. NO CUT FLOWERS.
She was allowed to keep this one because she had no roommate.
Thank you Beth and Family

She shows off her scar!

We celebrated Christmas together.
One week after surgery
.
.
.
.
?
. . . .
Santa was very good to her- ........................ And she LOVES her cards too!

.
.
.
.

But a day later, she began to feel ill again...
.
.

My brother John came to visit his "nephew"
(ask Casey about that). hehehe
.
.

Her tummy swelled...

Time to call the surgeons in again...
.
.
.

Dr. Kasie Banton and Casey
.
.

Things got worse, and she was off to surgery a 2nd time.
12/28/08
.
.

During this surgery, they drained 2+ liters of blood and fluids from her abdomen.
They also removed a blood clot (bigger than a golf ball), from her duodenum.
She came back to her room very 'out of it'.
I then left for a few short hours...

.
.
.

And when I returned, this is how she was.
A mere 2 hours after!
.
.
.

I have Punk along, and she was going as crazy as Casey.
So it was high time to bring her for a visit.
.
.
.

My sister Barbara and Family sent flowers.
(I hid them in the bathroom).
.
.

Punk is lonely all over again.
And yes, I brought her up a 2nd time.
.
.
.

Casey recovered very quickly from her 2nd surgery,
and on Saturday was even released!
(But with an appointment already scheduled for Monday to return).

I could NOT blog about this as she wanted to surprise Greg coming home.

.
.

.
And it was "bye-bye" Unit 6B
With a smile on her face...
.
.
.

That night she threw up her dinner.
We thought it because of all the excitement.

Since I have no cooking facilities in the hotel,
I went to Perkins and got her some chicken noodle soup on Sunday Morning.

.
.
.

After three bites of soup, her whole body looked like this.
Hives.
As we see the tattoo she has gotten-
The Holy Trinity she'd designed; (for her sister, Reianna).

CLICK TO READ ABOUT REIANNA if you are new here.

Casey was "free" for a little over 24 hours.
They readmitted her Sunday night.
She remains hospitalized, as we wait for results on her CDIFF testing.

.
.

Back to the hospital.
Getting her ER IV changed...
.
.
.

.
.
.

Lynn's daughter Christi (my Goddaughter), went to "Build a Bear"
And this is "Jewel" with Casey!
.
.
.

Needless to say, Punk is sad all over again.
As I am too.
.
.
.

That is basically all I know for right now... and I await Casey's call this morning.

Love to all

XOXO
Anne
