Dat 247 ~ Baby step in improvement · Mar 15, 10:27 AM by Dale
If you think of the road to recovery as a 10 mile road off into the horizon then last night was a few baby steps in the right direction.
During the night dad called to check on her and the nurse informed us that her heart was beating irregularly. The nurses got it under control and it seems to be doing all right.
When we got here this morning we got word that her respirator’s level is down to 50, from 75 yesterday and 100 the night before. This is a good thing because it means the machine is force feeding her less and less pure oxygen, which means it appears her system is doing better on its own.
Dave, her nurse, said her goal was to get her down to 60 today, and so the fact that we’re already down to 50 is a small bit of encouragement.
Other than that, everything is pretty much the same, the albumin levels haven’t changed one way or the other. Which is still the keystone.
So we’re settled in for another day.
