So far, they've given her 3 types of antibiotics, insulin shots, platelets, 2 units of blood, bone strengthener, lasix for her kidneys, & lots and lots of fluids. The pulmonology doctor mentioned reducing her sedation enough to test her neurological functions. We just heard from the doctor and he'll start that first thing in the morning.
Some good things to look at are:
- they've reduced her oxygen levels on the respirator down to 40% and so far she's been able to maintain at that level
- her tests from this morning have shown no change from yesterday, they haven't declined.
- she had a temperature of 102, until it broke yesterday and has maintained normal since.
- her kidneys have shown improvement
It's obvious by all the phone calls and visits that mom is loved very much. We appreciate everyone's support through this very difficult time. This is going to be a long and hard battle to fight, but with your thoughts and prayers and moms strength, we'll get through it.
Love you all,
Marcia
Our Love goes out to all of you. love, Bill and Kathy

ReplyDeleteShe is a very dear friend and she will be up and around in no time.
Trish is a fighter and she does not back down from anything that's what makes her who she is and why we love her so much
