Does Bridgett have any of those online e-card sites we can use to send cards? You may not want to give out enough info to send her one anyway (which I can totally understand) - but I would love to send her one if you would like! Brighten her day some!
Wow! GO MOM!!!
Ugh, that stinks about enhanced precautions, but at least you are in a private room. We've had pretty good experiences on the CCS floor (our worst has been general pediatrics), though the last time she was admitted, she was having a Go-Lytely clean-out and the charge nurse decided at 5:30 in the morning to move us to another room to a bed away from the bathroom to free up a "big kid bed" for an admit. I pretty much pitched a fit that they were going to move Ali, who was newly potty trained, to a bed away from the bathroom, and then expect her to make it there in time with her limited mobility, hooked up to pumps and IVs, and not poop in her pants. The charge nurse's response? We'll put her in a diaper. Because apparently the dignity of a four year old doesn't count. I told her to forget a diaper and get a mop instead because that was going to be her job for the next 36 hours. It's amazing how quickly after that they were able to find another big kid bed. But that's really the only sketchy experience we've had with CCS. Most of Ali's stuff is GI related as well, but unfortunately, her issues are always multi-systemic which rules out the GI floor for her. We used to end up either there or the neuro floor.
I hope that Brigitte's feeling better soon and that everything goes well with the cath tomorrow morning.
