Thank you for praying today we really feel it! Penny's decision to
blow her last iv made for an interesting afternoon. She ended up getting
a PICC line (I said it wrong before, it's a peripherally inserted
central catheter) just in the nick of time before her sedation wore off
and she got really angry. It all worked well, we got a surprise visit
from my dad, and her brochoscopy went rather uneventfully. They let us
stay in the room and watch which was very cool. The cooler part was that
there was nothing abnormal going on. Now we wait for her cath lab visit
tomorrow. This will tell us whether she has pulmonary hypertension or
not. We hope!
On an even brighter note, her nurses get
extra bonus points today. They have advocated for her, gone out of their
way to make her comfortable and do the best thing for her. I could not
be more grateful. This is not the first time we have had exceptionally
awesome nurses but it's the first time we've had them since I had a
phone I can blog from and take pictures with. So to the other great
nurses we have had, please check our "nurse appreciation" post.
