Well the blood did help. Last night when told you she was out cold...well I thought...she woke up about 9:30 pm after the blood was given and just wanted to walk around the room which she did.
Today she feels better not so worn out, hemoglobin is at 8.4 She say she can see and think better. She was able to walk 139 feet with the walker without taking a rest. Prior only about 90ft. Being back on lasix she is seeking less swelling in her legs which she is happy about.
They are stepping up physical therapy on her speech and swallow. Since the swallow tests showed slight aspiration on swallowing liquids. So they do all sorts of swallow exercises with her. It is important for new lung transplant patients not to have aspiration as it will cause pneumonia.
