Post op, Day 3
Bad news first. Her platelet count is still very low (12) and that makes the attending physician very pessimistic about her chances. He blames the count on the trauma and not chemo treatments. Despite the low platelet count she has clotted okay and doesn't have any internal bleeding. They continue to give her platelets through the IV.
She has gained 12 lbs of fluid as of yesterday (she gained 70 last time). She is still urinating - her kidneys are working. They pump all that fluid into her and it has only one way out. Otherwise, it gets absorbed by her tissue. Her temperature was low in the morning but seemed to get better by the afternoon. Still on BP meds. There is a bit of fluid in her lungs but they suction that out. When I hold her hand and talk to her she moves and opens her eyes so she is aware - of course she will not remember any of it. I think it's good for her to hear familiar voices. The nurses are more positive sounding about her condition.
Much love and thanks to anyone that comes and sits with her. It takes much weight off of my shoulders. I just don't have the strength I had last time. Let's hope and pray Robin does.

Chris: You have been AMAZING to Robin. She has always told me! Keep the strength, she is very strong! It's terrible to be so many miles away from her, I would love to be by her side. PLEASE, let me know of any change, good or bad. I want to be there for her. She is my life long friend and my prayers are with you and all of your family. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help. Love,Lourdes
