Everything went well after she came out of the operating room..they had a PICC line into her vena cava and also gave her an iv in her foot ...We get back to the room and Myah was still out/sleeping from the anesthesia.
i havent had the heart to eat breakfast/lunch/dinner in front of her since she cant eat for 10 days...So I sneak a cup of coffee here and there..Sounds gross but I chug it in the bathroom so she doesnt see me..She has been asking for food and juice for days..
So as she lay sleeping I asked the nurse if she would watch Myah while I went to the lounge (6 doors down). She said no problem...
I thought I heard her crying...I walked briskly down the hall and knew it was Myah crying..
I walked into what looked like a massacre...She woke up and tore her PICC line right out of ehr arm...now folks the PICC line is in her artery..to see the amount of blood ...well I cant even finish writing this post.....
We are now back to square 1..
I have a child who is going on day 5 with NO FOOD< NO DRINK< NO IV FLUID...
not to mention no pain meds...
they called the surgeon and he is re-doing everything sll over again under general anesthesia...
They will allow her to drink 3 ounces of pedialyte tonight...
Seeing her act in this manner makes me wonder what survival skill she learned in the orphanage. The fear that is pent up, the escape factor...well enough said...

Oh, I am SO SORRY! As you go into the night, please know that your names are being called before the Throne of Grace where help is found in time of need.
I have been reading your blog since Chelsea asked for prayer over at Gour Family. My heart goes out to you and your little one over all you've endured this week. What a horrible experience for little Myah and her mommy. You have all of our prayers as she goes through the remaining procedures...until you're both safely home again!
I, too, have no words.
I am so sorry.
I am wearing the little bear w/a heart that you sent to us via the mail. Also, Emily is wearing her jade sister necklace today.
We're still here. We're still here.
Love you, Vicki
Oh Rina, I am so sorry about this experience. I can not imagine what must be going through Myah's mind when she starts acting like that. And now all the boys are sick? We are keeping you and the whole gang in our prayers!
Dear Rina and Myah,
I found your blog via Vicki's blog (another MS girl here). We have been home with our daughter for 6 months. I simply cannot imagine what you are going through. Having a priest for a husband and having worked at a hospital as a chaplain for a summer, please ask for a chaplain to visit if you haven't. He/She could sit and pray or just sit with you during some of these excruciating times. If I may be so bold as to pray with and for you: Dear Heavenly Fatehr, I thank you this day for the lives of Rina and Myah. Please be with them as they endure this time of surgery and healing. Let them feel your loving hands around them in their time of need. Be with the doctors and nurses as they treat little Myah, so that she receives the best care possible. All of this is asked in Jesus' Name. Amen.
Please reach out to those friends and strangers (your blog followers) that love you anytime.
God Bless you both,
Erica Dick
Rina,
I have been reading every word and soaking in your experience. I hope I am as brave and strong as you seem to be when our Raegan goes through this in a few months.
I know you are overwelmed right now but Vicki has my contact information when you get to a place that you want to talk with other families that have been in your shoes and are walking in them daily.
Meanwhile, I will be here everyday to check on Myah and her mama. I have struggled with the right words to say because I have often left here in tears ... for what our girls have to go through ... but more than that ... what they would have endured had they remained in China.
Sending you hugs and strength,
Margie
