Condition 6:00 pm:
- Dr. Tangel, the Pulmonologist (Lung), is the lead doctor. He gave the permission to allow Dianne to move to a regular room. She has a great mountain view from her room! She did get to go outside for a bit today while they were waiting for her to move to her new room. The temp was in the 70s so she did get to see some sunshine.
- Oxygen tubes were removed.
- She is talking to the nutritionist about changing some things on her diet. She is going to be adding in more food groups that she had eliminated before. She was thinking of adding more dairy and potatoes.
- She has seen the physical therapist, and speech therapist. Dr. Pavot (neurologist) and Dr. Mooney (kidneys). There is no new information so far, they were just checking to make sure her transition went well.
- She is scheduled for dialysis tomorrow morning. They have been mentioning changing this to every other day but we haven't gotten a confirmation on the schedule yet.
- Each day shows continual improvement. Last night, they removed 2 more tubes. On Saturday, they removed a drain tube. Now, the only extra tube is the urine catheter.
- Preliminary results from yesterday's ultrasound testing on her right arm did not show any blood clots.
- Dianne been trying to sign her name. She thought she could sign her absentee ballet. After some testing, she found that it was difficult. She's been practicing.
