More Baby Steps

Well more and more drugs seem to be disappearing from the mountain of pumps she had set up.

Since my last post she has come off another one of her adreniline drugs....(she was on 3) and is only on 0.25ml per hour on the last one...so hopefully that will be off by tonight and the only other major drug is for her blood pressure.

She is of course still on the ventiliator and unfortunately her lungs do not seem to be getting any better but they have turned the oxygen level up but the oscillation has stayed down.

And she is also having Lasix, Albumin, antibiotics, Lipid, Morphine, can't remember the name of the muscle relaxant that is keeping her in a drug indused coma...but I don't count those...as she was having most of these (except the morphine etc) upstairs so we are used to having them....so out of the 17 pumps for drugs she started with now there are only 8 i think.

They were talking last night about putting her back on dialysis but when John rang this morning he said that they are happy with her output so are leaving her for now.

She is also handling the suctioning better to as her stats would drop dramatically every time they did it.

Last night she did have quite a high tempreture 38.8 and they did another blood culture to see if it was caused from an infection, but so far all cultures have come back negative.

As much as this all sounds fantastic we are still no where near out of danger and she is still serioulsly ill and could turn at any time, but she is closer to becoming a little bit more stable to be able to handle a transplant.

So the Docs are still being very precautious but we re just trying to enjoy every baby step she makes.
