Rebel is on the mend. After being taken off the transplant list temporarily, she was listed again after the first dressing change of the infection site. She felt a sense of relief.
Things were pretty quiet on Saturday. I was the only one in to spend time with Rebel. Both SU and the Boyfriend have colds or bad flu bugs and are not coming near the hospital for now. Friend was away at a Sens game in Boston.
The site where her doctor made 2 incisions to drain the infection are healing very well. After some messy draining, the nurses are satisfied with how quickly she is healing.
They use this long ribbon like antiseptic packing in the area. This had to be removed and replaced. As the nurse was removing it on Friday, the doc stuck around to supervise and kept saying... "more.... more.... more" and the nurse kept pulling and pulling and pulling out this ribbon. Rebel couldn't keep her eyes off this stuff. She even took pictures and I am sure once she is up to it, they're going to end up on her Facebook profile along with the picture of the two holes in her belly.
We watched the Nancy Drew movie on Friday evening, and yesterday it was Enchanted. After the movie, we went for a one lap walk around the ward, and that was pretty much the extent of Rebel's day. We're moving sloooooolllllleeeee forward again.
It's been six months since I renewed the mortgage. The renewal notice sat on the table for a couple of weeks again. I went for the one year renewal and no lawyers involved this time. I will tell him the SU to get himself to the bank tomorrow to sign the renewal papers. Nothing like doing this at the last minute. What EvEr.
And we continue to wait..... for just the right heart.

glad the germ spreaders are using their heads.
Always praying for the donor and donor's family whomever they turn out to be.
It is slow but don't lose sight of the fact that it is forward.
