It is 6:30 as I write.\u00a0 Nancy has been resting well and improving.\u00a0 The cardiologist felt she need not be on constant monitoring and so they moved her to the 4th<\/sup> Floor into a big room with windows and a potty.\u00a0 Except for sky there isn\u2019t much to see out the windows unless one stands up on the sill and looks over the SW wing of the hospital.\u00a0 Still, the view \u2013 any view –is much better than in the ICU.\u00a0 Likewise, having the ability to use a real bathroom is, compared to a bed pan or movable stool, a major improvement.\u00a0 It also brings increased movement \u2013 we want no regression on the lack of muscle tone.<\/p>\n

She is still on a liquid diet in anticipation of procedures to rule out (or in) possible sites for blood loss.\u00a0 The INR test suggests this could be done on Sunday, but not Saturday.<\/p>\n

While I was there this afternoon a blood-draw was done for the purpose of checking on the bacterial infection.\u00a0 Her color and vital signs suggest a rapid improvement since she went to the ER on Tuesday.\u00a0 I want to know more about the bacteria and what they measure.<\/p>\n

I still haven\u2019t met the infectious disease doctor this go-round.\u00a0 Last December I sat at opposite ends of the same table with her when I was being briefed by Nancy\u2019s nurse and the doctor was reviewing files.\u00a0 Later the nurse told me about the doctor but Nancy’s issues at the time did not involve bacteria.\u00a0 Anyway, Nancy may have to ask for a page or two of notes as the names and spellings of the critters is beyond us and so I have no key words with which to search.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s it for Friday.\u00a0 John<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
