very glad we had an 8:00 at the ITA... & needed a wheel chair... they're not liking (me neither ) how much edema he's carrying... his legs and stomach are engorged... nor his non-present attitude.
Lucky for us Dr. Johnston and Barb were there to assess the situation ... No more Ambien ( nightmares ) and doubled the dose of Lasix twice a day. His counts (immunosuppressant ) are elevated so, they're stopping the Tacrolimus until they see us again on Sat. Chest x-ray today to check his lungs - there's a spot that hasn't gone away & they needed to check his ever moving PICC line ) Tomorrow he'll have a CT Scan to check that spot thoroughly.
I worked yesterday while thankfully, Jayne Tracy-sat... last minute request to show my listing on Maciel and then a listing apt. Traffic on 17 was a nightmare going south & for some reason cell coverage was non-existent. Amazing to use the other side of my brain tho'...
T seemed to lapse into non-presence yesterday... kept thinking he'd snap out of it but he basically, slept the whole day... doesn't remember talking with Jayne, consumed 2 Ensure ( Kirkland brand has less sugar so I've substituted it ) and a couple bites of a PB&J, plus hand fed 3 slices of avocado...
Nurse Ratchit has a new meds dance thruout the day... I'm a little fa klempt... worried, on edge... and yet thankful that I'm on duty... huh?
