ok, it's whine time

she had an OK day

they had problems with her blood pressure

and when they gave her that medication, it went to low

so they had to stop taking out so much fluid

and her mom said, when she was sleeping today her heart rate was too high


up and down, up and down, just like the ride


they gave her a special mattress that fills with air

and moves her around, to move the fluids around

she hates it


so, her mom left for a second to give us some alone time

we got along good, talking about stuff we like

it was difficult for her to make me understand what she's saying

we talked about writing on her phone, then computer, then

how about a pen and some paper? duh

the nurse gave us a clipboard and some paper and a pen

and she wrote

'i want to go to sleep'


that ended my visit

waaaaaaaaaahhhhhh

weaning, not whining

when i went in this morning

there was a big orange sign hanging over her bed

WEANING IN PROGRESS

little by little

they are weaning her off of the breathing machine

an hour here and an hour there

she has to learn to breath on her own


this has been tough on her

she sometimes struggles and it's frustrating and it hurts

she continues to complain about chest pains

the nurses and her doctors and the machines and her mother are checking everything

everything seems OK


she seems so weak and out of it

guess that's to be expected

it's just so hard to see her this way

she does smile when her mom reads her her mail


her heart has been so over worked for so long

it's gonna take awhile to start to feel and work normal, i guess


i'm outta the loop

they don't discuss too much with me

mainly because her mom is right there 'on the case'

also acacia has asked me to leave a couple of times now


no whining
