Good Evening
It is late so this will need to be short. Andrea slept most of the day due to the dilaudid dose she got. She is still on the 24 hour dialysis machine called Prisma. Now it is a waiting game to see what happens to her plasma free hemoglobin numbers, so far they are not spiking as high as they went a week ago. Her liver enzyme numbers have also improved, although they are not all where they were before, we will know better after the weekend. She sat up on the edge of her bed for 10 minutes twice and tonight we had her up in a chair for awhile, hopefully tomorrow will be better. The pink has returned a little to her cheeks, and she has not been having the stomach ache and nausea she had a week ago. The concern is whether there is still a clot remaining in her pump or not and there is simply no way of knowing for sure, the blood numbers combined with how she is clinically, and what her display screen of power usage says, will decide what is really taking place. I know this is sounding confusing so I'd better stop.
Goodnight, Maynard
