Sorry for going so long without a post, but things have been crazy lately. Stacia had a very close call after complications from an appendectomy, so we haven’t been spending much time behind the lens shooting weddings or seniors lately. Instead we have been in and out of the hospital, not the way! Once she was out of the woods (after her second surgery) I got to go home for a few hours so I grabbed the camera and caught a few candid shots of her recovering, some of the wonderful staff that treated her and the flowers and gifts that everyone sent.
This was by far the hardest thing we have ever been through, and it really was touch and go there for a bit. The complication she had is fatal if not caught within 36 hours, which it was thank God! She was in really bad shape, but is now on her way to a full recovery. This is due to the excellent care her doctor, nurses and the whole staff at Plano Presbyterian Hospital gave her. I wouldn’t wish what she went through on my worst enemy, however I can’t imagine a better place to go through something horrible like this.
Thank you everyone, family, friends and Plano Presbyterian Hospital staff for taking care of my girl (and me). We wouldn’t have made it through this horrific time in our lives without you all.
Here are some photographs of these wonderful people that took such great care of her.
Here is Nurse Jessika and Stacia (no she is not holding a baby!). Jessika was great, tough love is what comes to mind when I think about her forcing Stacia to get out of bed and walk around. Every time she came by she would say, “I want to see you up and around, Missy” Loved her. I wanted to say, “Yeah, Stacia, just walk it off!” :) Thank You Jessika!!!
Here is Jessika again as she retrieves the “good stuff” that goes in one of the six IVs Stacia had during her stays. Also here is Stacia with AK another wonderful nurse that took great care of her. THANK YOU AK!
Here are some (there were so many I had to make two trips home) of the gifts and flowers Stacia received during her stay.
PCT (Patient Care Technician) Rosie was a riot! She was on hand taking vitals when Stacia was finally allowed to have some food, well broth.
Cynthia and Mary were a great nurse and PCT team, really the whole 7th floor was full of great people, and the room could have only been better if it had its own mini-fridge!
