Trying to escape
We are trying to escape from hospital tonight AKA discharge! Â However the clock is ticking.
It is 3pm and the team hasn’t rounded yet, they are tied up. Â Of course we realise that what they are working on is far higher priority than a bunch of paperwork to discharge Missy. Â Still they can’t keep her another night cause they are saving lives right? Â This is the part where we sound super selfish I am sure!
Aria health is really good. Â I realised this yesterday as she walking and danced her way around the ward. Â No headaches and only a short nap. Â Lots of talking and even practicing some excellent letter writing! Â Her outputs are fully back to normal! Â No temps, very minimal O2 requirements. Â All things are good.
So latest update is that she has to stay another night so they can put her back from 45mls/20 hours to 55mls/16 hours. Â We said ‘no thanks, we aren’t going to stay another night cause of 10mls per hour!’ Â Considering her outputs are completely back to normal that doesn’t sound right. Â Anyway the resident goes back to the fellow and the fellow hopefully asks the Attending! Â Meanwhile the pharmacy closes at 4.30pm!Anyway we have one hour!
Occasionally I have heard from health professionals ‘well you have been here long enough what is an extra hour/day/night’  From the perspective of a family trying to keep things together thru separation- you don’t want to spend an single second longer that you have too!
Verdict: Â Declined! Â Another night please

Great to hear Aria is really good – Praise the Lord. Do hope you get to go home to be with the family before too long. I agree that you don’t want to be in hospital any longer than you have to. Praying for you.
