Saturday

Dorothea was communicating with us this morning, but very tired. She released 4 blood clots Friday evening, and was given 2 units of blood. I imagine this explains some of her tiredness.

The colonscopy will be done today. Hopefully they will find the source of the bleeding and be able to take care of it today. Since the colonoscopy was not going to happen until midday, the doctor decided to reschedule the dialysis for Sunday. She still needs the dialysis port moved, so perhaps they will do that today also.

She used the ventilator overnight, but was back on the oxygen shield this morning. She was breathing easily on the shield, which is good to see. I will post later today to let you all know what they find out with the colonscopy.
