Good Evening
I don't know whether to call the day a good one or not. In some respects it was good, the blood tests and swab tests came back negative which is good. Her sore throat and cough have not improved yet. Tonight she was running a bit of fever, not much. Her MAP, Mean Average Pressure, was quite low the last few days at 48, probably from removing too much fluid with dialysis. Tonight when we were going to get her up into the wheelchair she nearly blacked out from sitting up, so they gave her two bottles of albumin, a blood product which rehydrates through the cell structure. Hopefully by tomorrow her pressure will have come back up again. Otherwise her spirits were quite good, her visitors cheered her up too. As soon as she is strong enough to manage it we want to bring her here to RMH, I'm sure her doctor will agree, he is getting anxious to get her out of the hospital. We are also waiting for the weather to warmup so we can spend time outside with her. Well, time to shut down.
Goodnight, Maynard
