Hello again. We are now in the ICU with Amelia. She is very groggy and sleeping with all of her pain meds. She is however doing really good. Her kidney is working and things are getting into the correct ranges. Her blood pressure is a concern, but they are keeping that where it needs to be with medications.
We have seen almost everyone on the transplant team that we have been working with in kidney clinic for years, and they are all excited that Amelia got a transplant. The dietician and the pharmacist are keeping really good tabs on her as are the doctors. They all seem to have a bond with Amelia because we have been seeing them for the past 14 years!
We will be here for the night and we will see what happens tomorrow as far as leaving the ICU. She will be in the hospital for a while, but not in the ICU for all of it.
I continually am impressed by the nurses and doctors up here. The have a genuine concern to heal these kids and to take care of them. It is nice to know that Amelia is in such good hands.
More to come as it comes to us,
Coming to you live, a few hours more into the new Kidney,
-Justin
