New update on Kathryn
Went up today; scared spitless as to what I would find. To my relief, she has remained quite stable. They had to turn on the BP meds only briefly when her systolic went to 74. It shot up to 175, they shut down the meds and it settled in at roughly 115 to 130. Her temp (ear) was 99.0 and her patelets have recovered somewhat from 22 to 34 in 12 hours. When you consider that a week ago they wanted me to start digging, I don't know what to make of this. I assume that any signs in the plus direction should be considered a gain. I cannot give you any other numbers, but the resident was a bit more caution than the surgeon was yesterday. The infusion nurse came in, hadn't seen Kathryn in 5 or 6 days and said "Wow. Down from 11 infusions to 5." I thke that as a positive as well. Her lung function has not changed, either up or down.
