Wednesday's dilatation

Brielle's dilatation went well and they were out in record time. She woke up miffed again...she wanted mommy and hugs then she yelled and me and hit me, then hugs and loving and then some more yelling...it was kind of love/hate relationship for a while...lol. When we Got to the room she drank 175ml of ice water, 3x175ml of chicken broth, about 21oz of diluted apple juice and she kept it all down. Her bowels are moving beautifully and things are looking good. Today, Thursday...she has a bladder/kidney test and then hopefully done for a while. We are looking at being discharged this weekend...yahoo!!!
Last night was interesting though!!! I could have strangled the night nurse...definitely "old school". In and out all night long, lights on, door open, vitals any old time and not sure but I think her hearing is going too, because the young girl in the bed beside us had her IV beeping all night. I had to get up twice to tell them to deal with it. Then at about 5:30 she tells me that she'll need a wet diaper from Brielle at 6 a.m. At 6 she comes back in the room and takes blood ( or something) from the little girl in the bed nest to us and tells her that she needs to get up and change one of her things...... Well that just put the frosting on the cake for me.... We have been here two weeks and never once has anyone felt it necessary to do all this stuff in the middle of the night or that early in the morning....so, I went and talked to the charge nurse. I was so tired and frustrated! After talking to the charge nurse and telling her that this was unacceptable to me I marched back to the room grabbed my wallet and went across the street for coffee. I believe I will need a nap today!
