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.

Complicated illness does surely affect major organ function. I am so glad the nurse is communicating with you, that is so important. Thoughts and prayers continue, You are a trooper, still stitching. When I am dealing with anxiety I rarely stitch these days, I eat. Mindlessly. Take care of yourself.

I am so sorry for all you are going through. Concerning Bud have you tried him on the hill science diet ad, you have to get it from the vet. (and if you mentioned this I am sorry) We used it on our 2 sick kitties, one after another. Still don't know what happened, why they got sick. But the HS AD really helped. Not cheap. God be with you.

Thoughts and prayers for everything to get better.
When a loved one is sick (and that includes fur babies) and we can't do a darned thing to help it's very taxing and stressful. I KNOW !
Glad you are stitching and like the chart you are doing.
God bless Carole, you and your family.
Wishing for a miracle.

Bless you, Marly, for all you endure.Carole has posed some puzzles that may yet be
solved and then turn her condition around, please Lord. You remain in our prayers
for peace, courage and strength.

It sounds like you have a very kind and compassionate nurse tending to Carole, Marly. I understand not wanting to ask about what to expect... Sending caring thoughts and prayers to you all. ♥
