Dorothea had dialysis again this morning. They took off 2.7 liters...it is amazing how much fluid they remove from her. Remember the mouth sponge thing I was talking about the other day? Today mom used it herself (with a little assistance) - which I am sure she liked having that control.
Physical therapists came today and had her dangle her feet over the edge and she sat up without ANY support for a few minutes. WOW - these things that we take for granted are such a huge step forward for Dorothea - I wish I had been there to see this. Harold also said that she worked her arms and legs around today on her own.
A few of the doctors are getting together tomorrow morning to have a meeting to get everyone on the same page and review where we have come from, and where we are going. This will be a good opportunity to get everyone talking to each other, and therefore working together. Tuesday will be 4 weeks since she entered the hospital. Friday will be 4 weeks since the by-pass surgery. I hope to have many more good things to tell you tomorrow~
