Sorry for the late post...
Dorothea had dialysis this morning, taking off .5 liter of fluid today.
She bled out some blood clots last night, so they have decided they are going to go ahead and do the colonoscopy on Saturday. She will also have dialysis on Saturday. They are waiting to move the dialysis port. They are still planning on it though.
They took her off the ventilator this morning and had her using the oxygen shield. I am not sure how long she was on it since I was not there for the duration of the day.
She was not very alert today. She would occasionally open her eyes, and she would show acknowledgement that she recognized us and would smile at us. She seemed to have a lot of trouble keeping her eyes open though - they would only be open for less than a minute and she would blink them really hard like she was trying to force them to open up. It is very hard to see her like this.
