Karen’s breathing has been much better today than yesterday, but she had dialysis early this morning which usually helps this by removing excess fluid. They pulled off a bunch of fluid through her dialysis so this has left her very tired. She is mostly sleeping today, but will wake up and answer questions. The transplant doctors came by this morning and did say they are concerned that she isn’t progressing this week and will be doing some additional tests to see if they can get things moving. She still has some level of pneumonia (has actually increased some) so they are considering changing meds for that. She is also retaining a lot of fluid in her abdomen which contributes to the breathing issues. They will be running some tests on that as well to see if they can address that. Still no appetite.

Wish I could think of something yummie that would make her want to eat.... Maybe I could give her some of my appetite and I could take some of her lack of appetite to help me lose weight!!!! Glad the breathing is better today.
Keep taking good care of my girlfriend.
Love, Gayle
Praying for healing, comfort, strength, and increased appetite for Karen. Praying for comfort, strenth and peace for the family.
