Good Evening
Andrea had a fairly quiet day in CVICU today,dialysis was run all night until noon, then plasmaphoresis was run for an hour and a half and after that she was free of both machines. Her free hemoglobin numbers came way down from where they were and are a lot closer although not normal yet. Tomorrow they will reassess this part of her care and decide whether they need to run the plasmaphoresis again. her tube feeds were restarted again this afternoon and she is now back on full rates again. It seems that she has lost some strength, afterall she has not had any calorie intake since last Thursday. Her blood pressure has also improved and the pump numbers looked better again. We still are a bit concerned that she might have a small clot someplace yet, don't really have any basis for thinking that though. She did not sleep much today, but lay with her eyes closed a lot so we think she will sleep well tonight, at least we hope she will. Please remember us in your prayers as we are in uncertain times it seems like. Goodnight.
Regards, Maynard
