Yesterday ICU pumped Steve with every antibiotic known to man. Plus propaval to sleep, 100 percent oxygen (he's intubated). His temp went up to 102. His nurses were hopping.
Today Torri & I got here after a quick stop at the drive-thru Starbucks (God bless Starbucks !!) his BP was 53/19. OMG! I started crying so Torri had to be strong. She gets to cry later.
So now it's 3hrs of dialysis which should raise his BP because it will flush out the toxins his flipping kidneys refuse to deal with.
Calgon take me away...

Thanks for the updates, Aunt Merry Lynn. We are praying for you and Uncle Steve. Also, I had halluicanations like Steve's for several days at Walter Reed. Not sure if you would want to try this, but what calmed me down the most was when Kelly would go along with my hallucination but convince me she had foiled the plot of the fake hospital staff / killed the imaginary bad guys / insert appropriate remedy to any given hallucination. Love y'all.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear all this, Aunt Merry Lynn! We love you and are praying for you both.
