After a slight setback yesterday and the scare of not being able to find her this morning, things were more stable this morning. The kidney doctor came in. He said they weren't going to be doing dialysis this weekend to watch her output and see how her kidneys are working. So far, she is in good shape in that department.
He also said that she has lost 42 pounds (in fluid) since she's been in the hospital. That is the around the amount of fluid they thought she might have had in her body.
The nasal feeding tube that was wrapped in her hernia was removed. She responded with a grouchy face and her blood pressure, which was low, slowly went up. After nine days, she will finally be fed TPM style through the PICC line tonight. Hopefully, she will feel better and have more energy.
Cindy looks healthy - except for the gazillion tubes that are going in and out of her. She remains sedated so communication isn't happening. The nurses say she can hear us, so we're encouraging her on to recovery.
Cindy's white blood cell count is high tonight and probably has an infection.. She is receiving antibiotics. They have taken blood to see what kind of infection she has.
Please don't forget to send pictures and stories. You know Cindy. She loves socializing.
