Where did the day go?

Somewhere between 8 and 9 AM Yvonne suspected there may be a problem.

Around 9 AM she called the transplant center to discuss

By 10 we knew we were going to the ER.

We discussed options given the traffic situation and decided to ask cousin Peter for a ride.

This got us to the ER at 11AM.

There were a series of interviews over the next hour until Yvonne got her bed in the ER hallway.  The ER was packed.  Transplant team was called.

Between 1& 2 PM blood was drawn and sent to the lab.

Around 2 PM there was an ultrasound of the kidney.  That took around 45 minutes.  Maybe more because I had time for a nap

Another hour has passed. We are waiting for more lab results and a decision to keep her here overnight for observation. If we leave we face the dreaded UN gridlock. Yvonne has an appointment for 7:30 AM which is only 15 hours away. It isn't clear to me if going hone is really the best thing.

But some patients have been in the ER for 70 hours just waiting for a bed to open up. I think if we can get out we will.
