Tanya's Lung Transplant 4: 8/11/09

Tanya was very tired all day. Sleep is almost impossible. People are coming in all the time giving meds, or checking blood sugar or this or that, and even if she had a little quiet time without being disturbed, the pain is too terrible to sleep. No chest tubes out yet, and she had to be given two units of blood, which bummed her out. Even though she's dead tired, she's still talking nonstop, though not smiling as much. Mary and Lori and Al all came to visit today, which is a great help to her mood. Her mother and father and I have been to see her every day, but good friends coming to visit makes her day like nothing else. Having the support and care and companionship of so many people is going to be a big factor in her recovery.

We're going to have to be more patient with having the chest tubes out, which is hard for everyone, but it'll all be worthwhile since she'll be able to do things she could only dream of doing before.
