At Mayo early today. Blood work and UA at 9:00a, then PlasmaExchange at 1. Today's session went well. They were in and out in record time. Cheryl, the nurse, said that her BP was better today than it has been the past two days. Also, she had gone right through the 12 bottles of Albumin (5% Human). Her hands are swollen and puffy and the weight seems the same. She did get up to go to the bathroom four times last night. So that seems better.
In to see the doctor at 4. Doc is not liking the numbers from this morning blood work. Creatnin is still too high and climbing
. Albumin and prograf numbers are looking better. The edema is still very evident and her average Blood Pressure number is too high. So, Doc made a call, and now (right NOW) we are going to Dialysis. They want to take 300 (somethings) off of her tonight and may take another 300 off on Monday.
Oh yeah, we are staying through Monday. Plasma Exchange on Sat and Sun. A repeat of today on Monday. Blood, Plasmapheresis, doctor visit, dialysis...
Will post more later.
I have to take the shuttle back to the hotel to grab the car, because we will be here longer than the shuttles run tonight. No shuttles on the weekend either...
More play-by-play to follow stay tuned...
