Day 226 - Getting Better Every Day

Please take the poll on the right to give me your opinion about the quizzes.    -------->>> 

Cindy continues to improve.  
  • She no longer needs any blood pressure medication.  Her blood pressure is at a prefect level.  It had been very  low last week before going to the hospital.
  • She is still using a breathing tube, but there is only one machine helping her breath.  The nitric oxide machine was removed yesterday.
  • Instead of 3 poles of various medications and fluids, there is only one.
  • She is being weaned off of the sedation and pain medication, so she is slowly waking up.
  • Her platelets are low - not sure why.
  • The Pulmonary Artery Catheter has been removed.  There is no longer a reason to monitor her heart so closely.

The cardiologist and pulmonary doctor are discussing what "cocktail"  to give Cindy for the Pulmonary Hypertension.

And if you're wondering who has been bringing you all the news that's fit to post, meet Debbie in the  picture below:.
