wendyzskiJust talked to her again.
They've managed to get nearly 4 units of blood and one of plasma into her so far, but it's going slowly. She was originally supposed to be released today, but lately she's noticed that when she says "and when I get home tonight" they are giving her funny looks, so we're not sure. She's gonna fight hard to get home - not just because of the mom-stuff but also to get some actual sleep.
Doctor:Well you get a good night's sleep and I'll see you in the morning
Ari: Have you ever BEEN in a hospital?
(In addition to having the usual hospital noise and fuss, she's still got IVs in both arms - one for blood and one for fluids - so she can't sleep on her side or stomach like she usually does. And "breakfast was gross")
They think it's some kind of girly-issues. They've had the OB-GYN that delivered Breena 4 yrs ago come down to consult, and done a couple of ultrasounds. She's been bleeding more than "normal" for a long time, but I guess it snuck up on her so she didn't notice how bad things were getting. Apparently her body got very adjusted to that kind of blood levels, because they arent quite sure how she managed to not pass out with hemo levels that low.
She's covering well with humor bet you can tell she's tired and scared. Charles is with her, and Chelsea is home from school to watch Breena. I'll check again later this afternoon.
