Back on the Foley

Last week's flowers were roses, "Movie Star", and they are still doing well so I added some white Pom-Pom Mums.

They said that last night they scanned her bladder and found about 400ml of urine which they got off with a cath. this morning the scan showed more so she is back to a Foley. This should help her belly pain. This belly pain is causing her to cry and when she cries her nose runs, the result runs down the back of her throat and bubbles out the stoma and hits her gag reflex which makes her nauseas causing more pain and more tears.

We have her calmed down with pain meds and waiting for dr to restart tube feeding.

At the start of dialysis her blood pressure was 77/47. By adding Albumin and fluids they were able to complete 3hrs of dialysis with her blood pressure at 119/51 but with a net gain of 1000ml of fluid. I think she needed it anyway.

4pm and pain meds in and tube feeding started, I am playing CDs on the laptop for her.
