Dorothea had a good night...uneventful which is good! Her sugar levels have remained good. Her white blood cell count is still high. The infectious diseases doctor came by and talked with Harold this morning. Since her white blood cell count is still high, they believe she may have another infection besides the one they are treating her for. Because of this, they have put her in isolation which means that everyone has to wear a gown, mask, and gloves when entering her room.
She is scheduled to have a stomach feeding tube put in this afternoon at 3pm. It will be great to get the tube out of her nose and have her face totally free of "stuff"! No dialysis today, they will do another treatment tomorrow.
She moved her arms around a little this morning (while she was under sedation) - it was good to see her move a little bit, she has been very still for days. She opened her eyes a few times this morning, but did not squeeze my hand or shake her head at all. I went in for the early shift and Harold enjoyed an extra hour of sleep. I am grateful that he allowed me to do that, and hope that he will continue to allow all of us to help him.
