Hospital Stay

Just to let you know that Shelley was resting fairly comfortably when I left the hospital at 10:15. She "sent me home" so that I can be "fresh" :-) when I return to nurse duty in the morning.

The resident who saw her at 6:00 said they would be keeping her for the week until Dr. Mulinari makes a second attempt at the Stent. He also promised to make a referral to Paliative Care for us which means access to that resource will be speeded up for which we are grateful.

Although it is a scary time, I think Shelley is grateful to be where she can be monitored more closely until the bruising of the day has subsided. She slept most of the day and evening and hopefully will have a full night of sleep as well.

A blessing of the day is that her day-time nurse is a young woman who was part of my youth group when I was in Stewiacke. I hadn't seen or heard from Mila since those days although out of the blue three years ago she emailed me to tell me how significant that time was for her. Isn't life full of mystery! I'm sure Shelley is getting a little extra T.L.C. because of our earlier connection.
