Sunday NO joke... Jaz is still here.


After we received the call from Dr. Green last night, we had a very restless night. You know, all those bargains we all try to make with God, so the outcome we want is met. We decided that we had to do what we had to do. So we got up at 5, drove the hour and a half to Tacoma to see Jaz with all intentions of doing it. (I can't even say it. Have you noticed that?) So Doc says, let's look at the 9:00 blood draw numbers. We were all shocked that the number changed in our direction. HUMMMM.. So we spent today's 12 hours patting and telling Jaz to fight. We have never taught her that word tho! Present stat's: her creatine number is the important number now. They are giving her the last of the Albumin that they can. They started the IV again but it is a double edged sword. It helps her but it also fulls her with fluid. Potassium count is high. Now the liver is in the picture. There is sooo much to try and fix. It has been such an emotional roller coaster. Doc is supposed to call us with the 9:00 numbers. I'm going to let it go to voice mail. We just need a break. I'm trying to be strong for Dave. You know he loves Jaz so much!
Thanks for all the support from everybody. We are so scared!
