From Bad to Worse.

May 7, 2011. I have never seen anyone look as pale as Sophie looks now. She is as white as a ghost. her lips and eyelids tinged purple. She is so weak, but still cries out in pain during her sleep. Her cries are soft and kitten weak.

I am terrified.

it's horrible, the comparisons you start to make in a place like this.Like, it's horrible when Sophie was crying out loud in pain, but then at least she had the energy to do it. The CPs and nurses are getting worse,too.3 times in the last 12 hours no one came at our call at all. Ever. And I needed help. No matter that between our expensive Blue Cross insurance and what will be out of pocket, this will cost a FORTUNE. Apparently, a fortune doesn't buy you much in this country when it comes to health care.

The night we just came through was gory and horrible. So much so, I will spare you the details. But now it's even worse for me - because she looks so, so terrible. So pale and so weak.

Something's got to give.
