She would rally and be quite normal for about an hour after the sub-Qs and then sink back. Like a spent battery.
You are very brave to remain cheerful around Kia, but it must help her that you do.
You sound wonderful parents and are doing everything and more to keep Kia as well as she can be. So sorry you are going through this yet again. |
Oh, Dottie, I am so sorry that I have made you cry again. Last week, I have to admit, I did cry a lot, in private, away from Kia) the days surrounding the 28th. It was the 18 month anniversary of my sweet Sydney's death.
Sydney did so well after her diagnosis......and then, as if in a blink of an eye, her levels sky-rocketed and the sub q's didn't remove the toxins from her kidneys. I believe Our Lord was merciful, in the way He called her home so quickly.
Letting them go is the hardest, but kindest, most humane thing we do for our babies. But, then, we live with it......I don't think we ever get over the pain of losing them.....we learn to live with it.
I know how you feel.....because I feel the same way.
I know that for Kia's sake, I have to keep an upbeat attitude.
Thank you, Dottie, our girls mean the world to my husband and I. When we lost Sydney, we both knew we lost an amazingly special girl, and she has left a huge void in our lives.
We are doing our best for Kia. I just wish she had the "fight for my life" attitude that Sydney had in her. (:
