Day-3 Hayley Talking – Graphic & Painful – What a Trooper *See Video*

Posted on December 26, 2013 by Jenny in Hayley's Journey, TPAIT No Comments

Day-3

Hayley was up most of the night.   Hayley looks a little brighter today her nose and throat are really sore from the NG tube and from time to time she feels like she cannot breathe.

Pain control is difficult.  We had to call the pain service again in the night and they increased the Hydromorphone again.  Hayley pushes the pump as often as she can.

We are moving her on the mat she is still unable to move at all on her own.  We have been using pillows to support her back it is so hard to see her like this.  God please let this work for her PLEASE!

The pain service checked her epidural apparently by shifting her from side to side the epidural will freeze according to which side you’re lying on.

Hayley’s incision is 13”long so moving her is no easy task.  Too Many individual IV’s. 4-Per hand 2 in feet.  PICC was needed!

 She keeps tugging at her NG Stomach drain.

Ripped at her catheter.

Hayley’s loosing IV’s left and right.  Peeds ICU team had to come in tonight because she popped an IV and is running out of places to put them.                              
The nurse was unable to get the IV finally Dr. Steel (anesthetics) came in and poked her another 4 times and then after her begging him to stop he went and got an ultrasound machine so he could see the vein.  He mentioned that only a few people had access to the “portable ultra-sound machine” so others could not access it.  After all that he missed the veins again even with the machine.

This was a bad night no matter how hard she tries she ‘just can’t get comfortable.  The nurses are slightly impatient I almost went loco on one of them.  Usually the nurses have been saints but there’s one in every crowd!

They are doing hourly blood/sugar testing.  The pump is doing the regulation however it will soon switch over.

    Hayley Devoe – CBC Radio Interview – Jun 18, 2013

    listen

    This is a radio interview done with CBC Radio Edmonton from the Alberta Stollery Children's Hospital May 31st, 2013. The interview was done one month after her 13 hour (TP/IAT) Total Pancreactomy & Auto Islet Transplant. By this time Hayley should have had a lot less pain than she was experiencing but we were remaining optimistic. Hayley had opportunity to do both radio and TV interviews to talk about being the 2nd child in Canada to undergo this type of rare surgery and also bring raise awareness to the wrath of Chronic Pancreatitis and the TP/IAT procedure. Hayley chose not to do any further interviews to support the surgery because she already knew in her heart that the surgery was NOT doing what it was supposed to. The surgery was done with almost no pre-testing. Looking back I am now wondering what did the doctor base his positive comment on? His words were that he was 99.9% sure that the surgery was going to help Hayley's pain considerably and maybe even stop it altogether! Never did he say it could make it worse...
