Dorothea had a good evening Thursday with the boys. They had a good long visit and she told them goodnight when she was ready to rest.
Sometime yesterday evening the respiratory tech decided to put her on oxygen (through her nose). We are not sure if that was a precautionary measure, or if she needed extra help. Late last night she had a pretty rough time with her breathing and her heartrate, so they put her back on the ventilator until things calmed down. She was put back on the oxygen shield early this morning right after I came in.
She had another bleed last night, so we will have to wait and see if that was an isolated incident or not. If not, then they may want to scope her again.
She was very exhausted from the trauma overnight, so she was not very alert early this morning. She had dialysis this afternoon. She will probably be very tired tonight and get some much needed rest.
We visited one of the L-TAC's yesterday and one today. We are very pleased with the one we visited today, so we will let the doctors know that when she is ready to be moved, we would like her to be transferred to Select Specialty hospital - it is on the 4th floor of Providence hospital in Kansas City, KS.
