So it did go down .3 this week. I’m trying desperately hard to scream and jump out my window… sadly it’s only the second floor, and it won’t kill me.
The specialist had said it could go down a point a day, but apparently my body said “Fuck it, we like being yellow.”
My parents are coming in tomorrow and my dad’s bringing an IV to hook me up to fluids. My mom wants me to go home with them. The prospect of any form of travel.. especially travel that will take 8 hours.. makes we want to hurl. Last week I was adamantly against it. Last week I also thought the bili was going down.
And the stupid albumen level? The one that said I needed more protein? Dropped another .5. After all that damn chicken I ate, it dropped. (It was supposed to go up .5.)
My desire to live has now dwindled to nil.
protein shakes! (not a euphemism)
and uhm… you’ll get better. so buck up kiddo!

Down .3 is better than up. But who am I kidding… I know there is nothing anyone can say that is going to make a difference right now.
I will miss you when you go, but I do know it is where you need to be. I wish I could do more for you… but no-one is as good as your real mommy. You deserve to be better taken care of.
And I know you said you don’t like the bed back home.
Maybe your parents and I will chip in to buy you a replica of the bed you have here. It’s from IKEA, right?
See, one problem solved.
See your yellow bum bum tomorrow. Love you 🙂

Good luck in your recovery. How sweet that your dad is bringing his own IV to hook you up… and he fixes stuff too? What a father you have!
