What Goes Up

Thankfully, the bad numbers are all starting to come down. Wonderful news! The white cell count has dropped dramatically. No, the numbers aren't even close to normal yet, but still, they are making significant drops. The kidney numbers are coming down as well. Dialysis is still not off the table, but at least there is improvement there as well. Blood sugar is down a bit too. All very good signs.

Her spirits are better, and they got her out of bed and into a chair (recliner) a couple times today. She looked so much better when sitting up. Ds got to come in for just a moment and wave to her through the glass. The nurse wasn't too happy about it, and we got a stern lecture, but I didn't really care. It made her happy, and it made ds happy, and it was just a quick peek in. Yes, I know all the reasons why the hospital doesn't want kids in there. The nurse was quick to explain them all to me. (After ds went back to the lobby.) I suppose I'm on the shxt list now. Wouldn't be the first time.

Well, I better get some sleep. The family again told the hospital staff to call dh if MIL wants company in the middle of the night. That's ten straight nights. Plus ten straight mornings that he's also had to be at the hospital for the first early visit of the day.

I need sleep.
