Update!

Okay! So we're terrible! The other morning we woke up and she was sleeping like this. I told Eddie she was practicing for her coffin.
It bugs me when people sleep with their hands like this, cuz that's the way they're always laying in coffins! I woke up once and found Eddie like that and made him change positions cuz it gives me the creeps!

Now for the update! Mom had her new graph procedure in her right arm yesterday. She got home for the hospital about 6:30p.m. She did okay. She did want pain pills which isn't normal for her. So we gave her two Tylenol #3. She was okay then until midnite when she woke me up because she was going to toss her cookies! She did and then went back to sleep, but woke me up again at 5:00 a.m. I think it was. Her arm was hurting and she was wide awake! I gave her two more Tylenol # 3 and she went back to sleep!
Around 8a.m. or so I attempted to feed her breakfast. After 4 bites it all came up. I gave her a good bath this morning. Her right arm looks like she's an Oompa-Loompa. The iodine stuff they put on you before they cut you open. Her entire arm from pit to fingernails is orange...except for the spots they actually cut into! After this, I let her be until about 45 minutes before transport got here to take her to dialysis. I gave her a little cup of applesauce. When tranport was wheeling her out the door, she tossed up the applesauce and she tossed at dialysis too. They even brought the yucky sheet home for me to wash! They're so nice. Because she threw up there and she told them she hadn't slept all night they gave her something for her tummy and to put her to sleep! I stopped by dialysis to check on her and she was sound asleep so I didn't wake her up. Transport brought her home. Roger told me she was "lethargic". Yes, she's drugged. She's been asleep since she got home two hours ago. Dialysis is worried about her getting dehydrated. If she ever wakes up...we'll try and feed her. Water her too! I found out today her weight has dropped to 136 lbs. If she wasn't in bad health she'd probably be excited about that! With her asleep, I have gotten a lot done around the house! Her Christmas cards have all been mailed out too! Eddie took them to the post office when he got home from work! That's the latest!
