UPDATE ~Casey~ Yesterday and Today *Comparison Photos

Hi all.

I had hoped never to post another sad blog about Casey being sick.

Caseys temp is up 2 degrees.
Her b/p seems to be normal.

As of yesterday (12-31-08) she was doing so good that they have now turned the dilaudid drip down-
(A mere 30% of what she was getting for pain).

Yesterday she was given a full menu. YAY! And even got to eat supper!

Her blood sugar (in her blood draw) was down to 46 this morning... then shot up to 168 within 20 minutes. (Without her having eaten anything).

Today she could not eat without falling to sleep- not so much the pain.

She is turning a golden color once more. (I see that anyway).

She is mighty incoherent.
I had the nurse put a call in for the doctor within 5 minutes of me being there.

It is a Holiday. Where in the hell are the doctors???

I am worried all over again...
This is just like last Friday...

As you can see, her legs and feet are also quite swollen. (They have given her diuretics twice in 2 days for this already).
WTF?

She also needed more blood yesterday- (One unit). But her counts were good this morning.
(I have already asked for a new blood draw, and new results).
Now if the nurse could actually GET permission from the damned doctors, they might even be able to get that done.

I do not think I am over-reacting.  (Maybe just a little scared)...

I took her pain button away. She has not pushed it all morning, nor has she asked for it back.
If there is a problem with the meds in that vial, they would leave her this way, (I think with respect to the incoherence anyway).

Please, if you will, a few more of those wonderful prayers?

I gotta go raise hell.

XOXO

" I’m asking something of each of you…

I’m doing a project this year to benefit the patients at St Vincent’s Pediatric Floor.
When Mariah was ever in the hospital we would always bring her own crayons, coloring books and puzzles because she enjoyed doing those things.
I want to collect enough new coloring books, crayons and puzzles to be able to give each new patient something to be able to do in the hospital and to take home with them in memory of Mariah.

I’m naming this project Riah’s Rainbow.
I want to continue this throughout the year, not just for Christmas. I want it to be an ongoing contribution to the hospital.

(Won't) you help out?

I think this project will really reflect all that Mariah was about. She loved to color and to draw.

This project will definitely keep her memory alive in all of our hearts."

Daddy please don't look so sad,
Momma please don't cry,
Cause I am in the arms of Jesus and
He sings me lullabies.

Please try not to question God,
Don't think he is unkind.
Don't think He sent me to you,
and then He changed his mind.

You see, I am a special child,
and I am needed up above,
I'm the special gift you gave Him,
The product of your love.

I'll always be there with you,
and watch the sky at night.
Find the brightest star that's gleaming,
That's my halo's brilliant light.

You'll see me in the morning frost,
That mists your windowpane.
That's me, in the summer showers,
I'll be dancing in the rain.

When you feel a gentle breeze,
From a gentle wind that blows,
That's me, in the summer showers,
I'll be dancing in the rain.

When you see a child playing,
and your heart feels a little tug,
that's me, I'll be there,
Planting a kiss on your nose.

So, daddy, please don't look so sad,
Mommy don't you cry.
I'm in the arms of Jesus,
and He sings me lullabies.
