Today has been a roller coaster of emotions. DQ was really sick early this morning. Turns out she needed a transfusion. After her transfusion she seemed to perk up quite a bit. She worked hard in her PT and OT but we still can't get her blood pressure up.
We have figured out a small selection of plans depending on the outcome of the next couple of days. I am grateful for Polo-er and Marine and BBaer talking me down from the crazy! I'd be lost without them!! BBaer tells the best jokes and makes DQ laugh.
I wish I could write more, but I realize now where my life has lead me. From this weekend on, I am now the primary caregiver (and full time) for both Grumpy and DQ. She will need a TON of support and help for the next several months and possibly the rest of her life. I will continue to write and strengthen my passion for literature but I realize they are going to have to remain my primary focus. Maybe I can work on my post-bacc later but we will just have to see what happens in the future.
I'm exhausted and need to sleep. Nurses will be in to wake us at 4am.
Sleep sweet y'all.
