Keeping Up with Isaiah Friese: Nurses

Friday, January 2, 2015

Nurses

Isaiah has amazing nurses. They usually serve 8 hours but sometimes 12 hour shifts. They are so sweet and gentle with Isaiah, always telling him what's happening and encouraging him.

They work so hard. It's not an exaggeration to say that they only sit down for maybe a cumulative 30 minutes during a shift. They are attending to meds/liquids/food, turning him, cleaning him, organizing and keeping things changed and clean, assessing all the time, and answering our endless questions.

We are so blessed by the medical care he is receiving.

Isaiah's Story

On Sunday, December 28, 2014 Isaiah took on the Herman the German sledding hill in New Ulm. At the bottom of the hill, at a very high rate of speed, he either bailed late or hit directly a crevice where the hill had washed out, suffering internal injuries. After a short visit to the New Ulm Medical Center ER he was airlifted to Hennepin County Medical Center (HCMC) in Minneapolis. He suffered a lacerated kidney. A stent was placed to bridge a separation between his ureter and kidney that occurred because of the accident as well. Miraculously he suffered no head injuries or broken bones. He has not needed surgery to repair the kidney, time and rest will hopefully be all that is needed to heal that injury. On Tuesday, January 13, 2015 Isaiah returned home from the hospital. Every day we see steps forward in the healing process.
