Life Updates | March 10th - March 16th

 

Sunday, March 10th

This Sunday was more relaxing, and we did not do much after our quick trip. Honestly, it was a trip we should not have taken but needed. Lil Eve had fun, tho.

Monday, March 11th

Lil Eve returned to school after her fun weekend with all of us. She wasn’t so pleased she had to wait for her bus in the dark after we had to turn the clocks back. She was determined it was still nighttime. 

After returning home, she ran inside to grab a drink and put on her hat to play and see her grandma. Seeing I am my mom’s caretaker, she lives with us. We then ran to the store to grab dinner, Meatballs in Gravy over noodles. She then got to spend some time with her Papa.

Tuesday, March 12th

On Tuesday, we had a visit from my mom’s Home Dialysis nurse to see how we were doing with the manual exchanges of 2.5% Delflex Solution. The home visit went well, and we start training to use the cycler this week

Wednesday, March 13th

Wednesday started out quite rough, with my mama waking in significant pain & a high blood sugar level. We still got Lil Eve on her bus to school. She seemed a bit worried about her Grandma tho. 

At 9:49AM EST, my mama is still in pain with a high blood sugar. We haven’t been able to do an exchange yet today. 

At 10:30AM EST, our training was rescheduled until tomorrow so Mama can rest and hopefully get rid of the pain. 

At around 4:15PM EST, My mom was brought into the hospital by ambulance due to High Blood Sugar, Body Pain, Chest Pain, and Throwing up…

At 5PM EST, I made Lil Eve dinner and will be prepping her for bed. So far, she is doing okay and is pretty calm during the stressful time after she comes home from school. 

Thursday, March 14th

This Thursday, I got Lil Eve off for her last day of this week. With everything going on so far, this morning ran smoothly. My Sibling decided to stay home from work due to yesterday's stress. I was informed last night from the hospital that my mama is being placed in the ICU with her levels abnormal and her within DKA.

Friday, March 15th

I still haven’t heard directly from my mom this Friday nor gotten an update on her condition. I do know she has pneumonia, which is what caused all her issues. 

Saturday, March 16th 

This chilly Saturday has been quite a slow day. Lil Eve fell asleep because she did not sleep well. Her IMH Specialist came while she was sleeping and was updated on what was happening. 

No news yet on when my mom will be released from the hospital, but we’re hoping soon. We were told that they are looking for a Midweek Release due to abnormal test results and her being on Dialysis daily with them pulling off a lot of fluid.
