The last 24 hours have been both really good and really hard. First the good: medically speaking, Elizabeth is doing amazingly. Her liver is acting like it didn't know it was transplanted! 🙌🏼So many numbers are coming back in the normal range. She *sat up* today, got a dressing change and finally bit of a spa treatment courtesy of her awesome nurse. So thank you for all those prayers! They really are sustaining her. Also in the "good" column is: a nap and a short for Mama; E got a visit from Granna & the girls; a visit from our pastor; meeting the newest @torrejonclan baby, born a few floors up from us on the same day as Elizabeth's new liver! We really have so much to be thankful for. 💗
Now the hard: Last night was pretty miserable for E. She was in a great deal of pain and was extremely uncomfortable and discouraged. Neither of us slept much, which made it all feel worse. Mid-afternoon her dressing became loose and without going into a lot of details, it was really stressful for her for a number of hours.
Tonight we've gained some ground on her pain management, and Matt has worked up a satisfactory cover for her wound dressing so please pray for deep rest for both of them, as well as all of us at home.
