Vegas, Day #41, Settling in!

We are in Vegas, baby!!  When the TCH transport crew came to pick us up at 7:30 am, I had the biggest grin on my face!   I was so excited to see them that I think I was talking much faster than normal and could not stop smiling.  They loaded Hannah up on the stretcher, […]

PCU, Day #41, Heading to Vegas!

It is now 5 am on Saturday morning.  Hannah fell asleep (as did I) at around 9 pm, and she woke up at midnight.   Her nurse and I got her back to sleep a couple of times, but that lasted only 10 to 15 minutes.  I have been up since midnight. Barring any emergencies […]

PCU, Day #36, Transfer in the Works!

It is almost 10 pm here, and Hannah has been asleep for 4 hours – hallelujah!    That has been her average amount of sleep for the past few nights, even with the addition of benadryl (which we are stopping because apparently that causes urinary retention when used with other certain meds). It is such […]
