Well, we will be going home, but it won’t be tonight. With the IV still in place and supplying 150 ml per hour, we did a test run today to see if Esther would be able to drink enough. The goal for today was 3 liters and Esther did it! But it was 9:30 p.m. by the time she reached her quota. Given the hour, the cold, the dark, the fact that my van is in a parking lot somewhere covered in snow, my state of exhaustion, and the fact that Esther would have to turn around and come right back to the hospital first thing in the morning again for labs, we’ve chosen to stay put for the night.
Esther needs to get up and walk laps around the pediatric floor every couple hours. For a change of scenery and a bit of mischief, we are thinking about sneaking out and down the hall to leave Esther’s eleven empty water bottles in front of her nephrologist’s office door.
We're all packed and will be ready to blast out of here tomorrow morning!
