And, we are home! Sarah is feeling better and she was discharged this afternoon. Her pain is managed by Tylenol and ibuprofen, so that’s nice (no narcotics – Sarah is tough). Sarah’s only symptoms (and they’re doozies) are dizziness and a tingling sensation. Her dizziness comes and goes and is tolerable. Her tingling is due to her calcium levels being low. Her thyroid used to manage her calcium levels and now her body needs to “wake up” to take over the calcium regulation. Sarah is supplementing her calcium throughout the day and we are hoping to reduce the tingling. If we can’t control her plummeting calcium levels, Sarah could end up back in the hospital. Too low of calcium could ultimately lead to arrhythmias and seizures. Yeah, don’t want that. Sarah’s surgeon said that her calcium levels should stabilize sometime in the next 2 weeks. Still no word on the biopsy results.
Baby Joey is still doing great. He is eating and sleeping well and is overall happy. We are blessed on many fronts.
Thank you for the well wishes and prayers! God is so good! Saint Ella, pray for us!
