Drying Day

Dialysis was first on the list today and Justin(one of her favorites) got her started at 7:30 and got off 1.8 kilos before 11:am. Her blood pressure held up fine as Justin starts slow and comes up slow.
They are still concerned about her diarrhoea, but with the tube feeding (optmenteal) there is very little fibre and she is missing a valve in the gut.
Mouth care is going ok today.
It looks like we have the surgar under control. They have the lantis up to 16 units and are checking her every 4 hrs. at 11:am she had 164 and they gave her 2 units.
Her room has a west view from the 4th floor and we can see, about a mile off, Village west, which includes: Kansas Speedway ; The Legends At Village West ; Cabela's ; Nebraska Furniture Mart, Great Wolf Lodge, and CommunityAmerica Ballpark, home to the Kansas City T-Bones of the Northern League, and the Kansas City Wizards of Major League Soccer.The Kansas City Wizards will move into the Wizards Stadium Complex at Village Westin 2011; Schlitterbahn Vacation Village .
This afternoon PT came in and sat her up in a chair. While she was up they changed out her mattress for a Comfort level air mattress (her number is 4). As long as she was up anyway they combed her hair and brushed her teeth. After an hour in the chair Jennifer (VT) came in to try her on some Ice chips and talking. She did fine on the ice but by the time it came to talking she was so worn out she couldn't even say "Go Away". At 3pm she was back asleep.
4pm blood sugar 212 and another 3 units.
4:30 O2 down to 85, RT suctions and back ok. No cough since 3pm. She seems very dry.
5:15 O2 down to 85, RT suctions and checks blood gasses. 5:30 back on vent for a while.
6;30PM OVER TO John.
