ICU Day #10 / Hospital Day #43
Kathy has had another peaceful day. Not much progress on the vent settings. A few were set back a bit since it appeared she was not tolerating the lower/slower pace. But considering how much she improved over last week, this does not yet appear to be a concern. She is also tolerating the dialysis well and is getting rid of some of the excess fluids. This is helping to reduce the swelling and she is looking a bit thinner.
What did change today was a possible lab result of a Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus infection. They are going to retest. So we now must wear gowns and gloves when visiting Kathy. The docs today didn't think this was going to be a big problem for her since her blood pressure looks good. Not so much for her or our protection, but rather to prevent this possible bug from spreading inside the ICU. Click HERE for some info on VRE.
I also have some new on a special gift/visit Kathy received today. But it's time for dinner and some fun with the boys. Will update on Thursday.
