Saturday

Dorothea was receiving dialysis early this morning and was very alert. We talked about weekend plans, and I told her about a scary movie we watched last night. Harold brought in a letter from Lou and we looked through all of the pictures that she sent - I think she enjoyed that.

She did not have any bleeding overnight, but her hemoglobin dropped again to 7 - so they gave her 2 more units of blood during the dialysis treatment. There is no apparent bleeding, so we are not sure why the hemoglobin is dropping, so we will wait and see ... hopefully her numbers tomorrow will be back on track.

She is maintaining good blood pressure today,and doing well breating with the oxygen shield. Physical Therapy is planning on coming by later today and getting her up to sit on the edge of the bed.
