Jasmine could be in hospital for up to six months, but everything is still up in the air. We were warned today though that we should prepare ourselves for a couple of rough days.
At some point she will need dialysis but it would be better if this could be put off for as long as possible.
Currently Jasmine is retaining too much fluid so they are changing the diuretics to see if they can get the fluid out of her body and from her lungs to help her breathing improve and to give her kidneys a chance. This is the big challenge for now – reducing her fluids. They had to increase her oxygen today as she was struggling with her breathing, even though she still pulls the tubes from her nostrils.
We both held her for a long time today so that was lovely. Neil washed her in the morning, and I changed her nappy twice in the afternoon. She was snoozy again today in between wriggling and stretching and she is very beautiful.
