Thursday Morning

Karen is about the same as yesterday but perhaps a little more tired. The dialysis is absolutely necessary but it wears her out on the day she has it and then the longer it is after dialysis the more tired she is. So her best days will probably be the days after dialysis (Wed, Fri, Sunday). She is scheduled for dialysis today.

She has been sitting up again in the chair this morning to regain a little strength. She is sitting up about 2 hours per day. She has also been allowed to drink a Coke (which she loves)!

The transplant team just came by and has decided to keep her in ICU at least one more night so she can gain a little more strength and be watched a little closer. We all agree that this is a good idea.

Hope today was a good day. Starting off with a coke was wonderful I bet!!! Hope she will escape ICU in the next day or two.
Love ya'll, Gayle
