Home again

Sandy was continuing to feel more and more uncomfortable so our nurse made some calls and got us into Highland Park hospital today. The procedure which was performed was that they put a catheter into her abdomen so that it could be drained at home. (Some may know that Sandy has had her abdomen drained once per week for the last two weeks. They have taken out an average 3 liters.) The nurse arranged transport for us in an ambulance (which thrilled Benjamin) and we left about 12:30. Unfortunately they were not ready for us so we had to wait until 3:30. The procedure was over in 45 minutes and then the transport arrived and Sandy is now sleeping, completely exhausted. We had a few cute moments together in the room which was great and we have now completed our written description of our dating history. (I look forward to sharing it with all at some point in the future. I believe we have a great story to tell of waiting for the right person and not settling, along with what an orderly relationship can look like in our opinion.)
Her pulse continues to be high and her blood pressure is staying quite low...tough signs!
Thanks to everybody for your blog responses, e-mails, and facebook words....I have read all of them to Sandy. She smiles and I cry. What an angel.
With love to all, Sandy, Phil, and Benjamin
