Welcome fans to another entry.
Denise is just finishing up another round of fluid removal. They are again using the Dialysis machines to extract 3000 milliliters (Is that 3 liters?) of excess fluid. They admit that this is a temporary way of easing her discomfort. However, they need to get her blood pressure down. The excess fluid is making her whole system work too hard. Her average blood pressure is 180/100 and the normal BP is 120/80. Sow while she likes the 6.6 pounds of fluids each of these sessions removes, we are not fixing anything. The verdict is still out if the plasmapheresis has helped or not. Will know more next Friday when she has another apt.
For now, we are going home and doing Christmas.
