They are now past the point of no return. They are now removing Lydia's liver, and they are closing up Janene's incision. Janene will most likely be done at about 4:30. We won't be able to go see her at the ICU until about 5:30. The doctors have told us that everything is going really well.
Janene will be out of it and not remember much the rest of the night. Maybe by morning she might be more with it.
Lydia will be heavily sedated for many days so that she is not aggravated by the breathing tube. They want her to stay very still while the wounds heal. They said that most likely she wont remember much if not anything about the ICU. That could last up to two weeks in the worst case.
From past experience they are both fast healers. Who knows though what this may be like. I hope it will be quick.

chillin' and grubbin'
Spenc and Lydia enjoying some brocolli (at least the taste of it for Lydia since she just sucks out the flavor and spits it out)
I'm LuLu's Aunt Julia (Lizzie's sister). So glad to hear everything is going well. It's absolutely remarkable what a healthy liver will do. Other than LuLu's feeding tube, you can't tell anything is wrong with her. She's made enormous progres, which no doubt, will happen with Miss Lydia too. God speed. My prayers have been with you throughout the day.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the updates. I will continue to pray for your family.
ReplyDeleteI am glad to hear all has gone well so far and praying that things will continue to go well for both of your girls. In just a few weeks you will begin to see a whole new Lydia emerge. Eden is only 5 months out now and acts like a normal healthy almost two year old.(Aside from the not eating part.)
ReplyDeleteSO glad that so far, things are going well!!!
