Just as Wes and I were enjoying a lazy morning all cuddled up in bed, I got a call from Julie, our transplant nurse. After Dr. Fishman reviewed W's labs and conferenced with the rest of the team, they felt strongly that it was time to start TPN (iv nutrition). They said that his body is just not absorbing nutrients correctly. I was crushed.
We are leaving Sunday for Houston. They will admit us and get us ready for a PICC placement Monday, so we don't waste anytime starting the TPN. Our projected stay is a minimum of 5-7 days. TPN is a volatile thing and can present many problems as far as blood glucose level, and, for extended periods of time, can cause liver damage. Great.
As if that, in and of itself, wasn't enough bad news...my family is dealing with some other major issues.
Praying God hears our prayers...they say He doesn't give us more than we can handle. I am close to, if not at my breaking point.
