ICU #26

Rounds comments - they've decided to put off the ct scan of her abdomen until tomorrow - the creatine in her kidneys is decreasing and they don't want to interfere with that as her kidney function improves - ct scan includes dye through the kidneys which is hard on them. They are also talking about removing 2 of the pleural cavity tubes because there is minimal amounts of fluid coming out - good news! Still some concern about the white blood cell count but they're keeping a close eye out for any symptoms that would indicate new infection. She's holding her own!!!

Thursday is Lucille's 75th birthday - I'm amazed at what great shape she's in. If you want to send some birthday wishes, her email is lupj@shaw.ca.

  4. Lorraine, reading the blog is amazing. It sounds like Linda has come so far. I am sure that at times things must seem slow for you being right there, but as a reader, I am truly amazed. Things sound very encouraging. Once again, thank you for the blog. Good for you for taking a nap! That has to be hard but I am sure the body needs it. Take care!
