Good evening
The weather has warmed up from -23 this morning to -13 or so, supposed to be melting tomorrow. Thankfully Andrea had a better day today, the pain medication patch she is on now seems to have made a difference. We were trained on her pump controller in the last while and what the different alarms mean, so now we are free to take her out of the ward. We have been trained on how to switch batteries and also how to very efficiently switch controllers, so today we went driving around on 4th floor. We went to the teen room, but unfortunately it was closed, so we went back and forth from her ward to the far end at 4E, I didn't count how many trips we made, but it was many. She really enjoyed getting out of her room, and driving in her wheelchair has always been a favorite for her. The pump doctor was in this afternoon and he says her blood pressure is much better, her blood test results are improving, so the next steps will be to see if she can pass the swallow test, and maybe she can start to eat a bit again. She was up in her wheelchair twice today for a total of 3.5 hours. Dialysis will be resumed in the morning for 4 hours again, hope they start early so the rest of her day is not used up. Thannks again for all your moral support, prayers, visits, gifts, etc. Goodnight.
Thanks, Maynard
