IV Troubles

Tehilla's IV fell out of place and had her screaming hysterically.

It took some advocating until I personally had to go find a doctor, who ran to reinsert her IV, so as not to delay the catheter.

Tehilla is curled up in my arms, sleeping right now and I've given the nurse instructions that she is not to be disturbed.

Tehilla bat Shoshana. Please pray that the catheter be safe, without complication, and show that her pulmonary arteries have grown and she is able to have her Glenn.

Bright and Early

We left before the sun was up and got here early.  Tehilla has started her IV fluids and now we have to keep her from pulling it out.

I woke her at 4:45 am to eat, so I'm hoping she will take a nap soon and make the next 4 hours easy.

Tests Completed

Tehilla has had an EKG, chest x-ray, blood tests, pediatric visit, and cardiologist visit. She has an IV in her arm and has it heavily bandaged to keep her from pulling it off. We are going to be released to sleep at home tonight.

Tehilla has to fast from 5 am, and start IV fluids from 8 am. Her catheter is scheduled for 11 am.  She is second in line. We have to be at the hospital tomorrow for 7 am. 

Tehilla has fought ferociously with everything today. That's my heart warrior!

Feisty and Fierce

Tehilla has had her vitals checked and medical history taken. She has charmed the nurses and somehow charmed a piece of cake out of an administrator.

They tried to do an EKG on her. But she threw a temper tantrum like I've never seen. She wripped all the wires and even stickers off of her body and had 3 people holding her down. It wasn't successful.  So they decided to let her calm down and try again. As they walked away she shrieked at them. This girl has got some serious fiestiness in her.

She wore herself out cold. We're waiting for her to be in a deep sleep, before trying again. 

Checked In

Fastest check in yet. Now we are waiting for our cardiologists and nurses to come and start taking vitals and tests.

Pearly Presentations

After 7 months of tears, screams and crazy amounts of lost sleep- by pretty much everyone involved...

Tehilla is proud to present:

Her teeth!

Getting Ready

On Sunday, we check-in to the hospital for Tehilla's pre-Glenn heart catheter. She will have blood work done and we will have papers to sign. As long as she is feeling well and there is no reason to be concerned, they will allow us to sleep at home, but return to the hospital bright and early.

We are just getting everything ready for the stay-over and preparing Mechal and Tzviel.

Please keep Tehilla in your prayers for this procedure and specifically pray that the catheter reveals that she is ready for her Glenn.
