Dear Friends All
Today was not so good for Andrea, she had a few suction events showing on her control screen, which likely means that in dialysis they removed too much fluid and she became too dehydrated. The heart mate II is designed to perform the best in a well hydrated environment, so she got a dose of albumin and was given extra fluids to account for what she had lost. We will be meeting with one of the nephrologists tomorrow to see if we can have one on one care, it doesn't work too well to have the whole crew of them writing orders, some of them have done that with out seeing her or knowing more about her than what they have read in her chart. All day long she complained about feeling sick, she couldn't perform too well in physio and finally tonight around 9:30 she got rid of a lot of stomach contents and felt better. hopefully she can sleep well and feel better tomorrow. If after dialysis tomorrow she is feeling up to it, we hope to bring her here to the RMH for the weekend. until next time.
Goodnight, Maynard
