Within minutes of arriving home, Amy was already asleep. So much for only Tylenol. She asked for painkillers while in post-op. This from a girl who HATES taking pain meds and tries to tough it out. Brian sent an e-mail to the Registrar at school to see if we have any options other than pulling her out. Maybe tomorrow we'll get some answers. She really wants to make it back but it isn't looking good. She seems a bit sad tonight. I'm not sure if that's from the emotions of the day, the many medications they gave her, the pain, or what. She's certainly entitled to be a bit emotional after the roller coaster ride she's been on since her first surgery in June 2007. Today was number 11, and hopefully it will be her last. We still don't have answers about why she has trouble healing...why there are "abnormal markers" in her blood...etc. We'll see the PCM on Friday after the surgeon removes the drain tube in the morning.
We know there are people all over the country who have never even met Amy who are praying for her and it means so much to us. We also know things happen for a reason. For now we'll just take things one day at a time and pray for sunnier days ahead. We'll get thru this. As one of the nurses today said, "this girl wins the "tough award" for being tougher than anyone who's ever come thru this department."
She's an inspiration...she's my hero.
