Another day

Edit - Spoke with nurse again, now has a fever, no Lasix because of low bp, has not lost any fluid since arriving, and she is talking to deceased family that came to sit with her.

 Hi folks.  I wasn't able to speak with Carole yesterday, so weak.  I just did this morning, she is miserable, very shaky and still weak.  Blazing infection that I saw on her report yesterday (myChart), they don't know where and are culturing today but started a broad spectrum until answered.  I did not know that could cause b/p to drop (70/40) which prevents fluid release.  But her numbers were good for two weeks with no fluid releasing so don't understand.  Meds to raise it are being monitored closely because I guess this affects arterial pressure (which is high) when HF is present.  Her nurse in ICU is outstanding, so informative, and takes her time with your calls.  We still don't know what to expect, and I'm afraid to ask. 

I started the sampler with color changes, have very little stitched, and love it already.

Raining today, the boys are in their happy places, and Missy is somewhere inside making trouble.  Nit is still not happy with Petey and tries to steal his house, but had to settle for the old one today.  Since the weather has warmed, he prefers being outside.

Bud is so very thin, wants to eat, and does get a little in before he bolts.  

Enjoy your day.
