Sorry about the lack of updates last night. It was almost 9 pm when Nanny finally came out of surgery and then we had to wait until they found a bed in ICU for her. So by the time we got in and talked to the doctor is was very late and hubby was ready to get on the long road home.
As far as Nanny goes, they aren't sure if this surgery was successful. Being in double organ failure puts her against great odds. They put the port in her arm, but the doctor said if the heart is to weak to pump the blood through it, then they will have to go through her neck. He said her heart is just so weak. He said keeping her there for a few days in ICU will give him the opportunity to monitor her heart more closely for any changes. He told us honestly that he really didn't want to do the surgery yesterday,because he knows the risks, but he said what other choice did we have and the answer to that was none. It had to be done.
As far as mom goes, things looked really good when I saw her in ICU last night. It looks like hers will be a success. We will know more once she wakes up and gets to moving around more.
Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers:)I just can't thank you enough. I've been blessed with some wonderful prayer buddies and I'm really thankful for that.

Hey Sandy I thought of you first thing this morning. I am glad to hear your Nanny made it through surgery. I know how difficult dialysis can be first hand. I have had to have a total of 7 or 8 ports.
ReplyDeleteI will keep her and your mother in my prayers. I tried to explain a little of what dialysis is like on a post once. If you want search for dialysis on my blog and read it. My grandfather was getting dialysis the same time I was and I remember how brave I thought the older patients were. Hope you have a blessed day!
Hugs to you!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that everyone is ok...and I'm still keeping y'all in my prayers. I know it's hard but please be sure to get some rest yourself!
ReplyDeletePrayers work really they do. Our whole family has been praying for you all. I am really glad to hear that she pulled through the surgery. We will keep praying. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry they didn't have better news for you. We'll keep praying. God knows what's best for your family, and they are safe in His care no matter what happens. I pray He will give you grace and strength for whatever may lie ahead.

Hope everyone is doing better today! I was thinking about you last night and this morning wondering how everything went with your Mom & Nanny. I am praying for you and your family, sitting and waiting and not knowing is the worst part about surgeries.
