I met the infection Dr. who said she was doing good in that she didn't have any new infections. Due to her "liver failure" they have her on a series of 3 antibiotics that they rotate through out the day.
She was very responsive today. They took her off the sedative. She is still off the BP medicine. They gave her lasic to make her eliminate all the fluid they put into her. It worked and they were very happy that she was able to keep her BP up. She lost at least 6 liters.
She did well over night breathing on her own but she wasn't getting enough oxygen in her blood so they had to turn that up. Either she'll work her way off the respirator now or she'll get a trach and do it later. A trach is better than having the tube down her throat.
They are worried about her getting an infection in the central line in her neck so that is why they want to put a PICC line in her arm. The Dr. they need to do the arm procedure isn't on this weekend so they'll have to wait until Monday.
I think of much more to write while I'm there but I'm too tired by the time I get home. Thank you to everybody that has been helping.
Oh. Tomorrow she has RN Ruel who we like. Sarah, our other favorite, is also working tomorrow. She checked in on Robin this afternoon. Susan has had her all week and is also very nice. They have a pretty good crew of nurses up there.
Sometimes Robin points down at her bed with both hands. That usually means "what day is it?"
So she is still a bit confused.
