Last minutes in ICU

This morning another blood test was done and the result was that the Haemoglobin is still not right which means that Celina still doesn't have enough blood so she is busy getting her third unit of blood today. She must have really lost a lot of blood during the op. Anyways its getting better. The epidural was removed this morning and Celina was crying the first time. It was heartbreaking. Then at 12 pm she was brought down to A-ward(children ward).
It feels much better to be here. A much warmer atmosphere. Next at 3 pm Celina's wound dressings will be changed, the wounds are still oozing. She will have some chest physio and she will be put on a air mattress which is moving up and down electronically so that Celina is not getting any bedsores. They say this mattress cost a R45 per day. There is not much other possibility to move her at the moment. This moving will need the whole ward team because she is heavy and the spica cast is awkward.

 

 

A little later Celina still had a nasal gastric tube inserted because I can't get in enough nutrition's orally neither enough liquid.

Thank You Lord for Your healing power. Thank You Lord for Your love. Thank You Lord for never leaving nor forsaking us.
