It is late so this will be short. Andrea had an okay day except that she began passing blood, I guess her blood got too thin. Her feeding tube did not goin after all so she has been without nutrition for 24 hours already. Heparin (blood thinner) was withheld, and she had another unit of blood again, hemoglobin was staying good. Nurse said tonight that nearly every heart mate patient went through the same bleeding problems before it got sorted out. She also said since a week ago when she last looked after Andrea, she saw good improvement all around. They are trying to get her less ventilator dependent every day, but it is slow going. Her bilirubin was down 102 points this morning also. Well it's time for dreamland so goodnight.
Thanks, Maynard
