We should have known by how long it was taking that something was wrong... But you cling to your faith, and pray hard that you are overreacting.
Dr Haw said it didn't look how he'd hoped it would when he opened her back up. There was still festering infection and necrotizing something. (I really didn't hear much after he said "it's not what I wanted to see today!") Well Dr Haw... This isn't what I wanted to hear today!! Merry Christmas to the Oosting's!!
We have migrated a floor up -- back to the PICU. We loved the nurses, but don't love that we are requiring that increased level of care.
For starting out as a transposition rock star -- I'm devastated that we are now crashing and burning.
The minimum 14 day time clock for our stay here starts over again due to today's developments. Adios 01.04.14... Hello 01.07.14.
I'm finding it increasingly difficult to be happy. Anger, bitterness and resentment have settled in. I'm praying constantly for the 2nd coming of Jesus, so Piper can no longer be in pain.
On a more cheerful note -- Merry Christmas to all Piper's prayer warriors. We are so grateful for everyone that has lifted our Pipes up to "the great physician." We joked this morning that she had a striking resemblance to the baby Jesus. This is a picture of her all bundled up and ready for surgery. Ironically, this morning I did read her the Christmas story from Luke 2.
Letting the (infection healing - able to go home healthy) prayers rise!!
