I just returned from Andrea's room and since it is late I'll be quite brief. Today was a fairly good day for our girl, she slept in the afternoon for at least 2 hours. Last night was not so good she was awake a lot and by early morning she threw up and did not really sleep well after that. We got her up in her wheelchair for 1.5 hours or so. I don't think she is so nauseated like she has been, but sometimes she coughs a lot and since it is not a strong enough cough to really get rid of phlegm properly, it tends to go up and down quite fast and eventually she gags and sometimes throws up because of it. More movement and strength is likely the only way for her to properly clear her lungs. Tomorrow is dialysis again which is quite tough for her, hopefully she does not have to wait too long in the day till they are able to start it up. I did request the nephrologist that she could have it first thing in the morning, that way the rest of her day isn't wrecked for PT to work with her after she has had a nap, PT's start early in the morning and are gone quite early in the afternoon, so it is sometimes hard to schedule everything in for those hours. thanks for reading this and goodnight.
Regards, Maynard
