Today was a slower day. Physical therapy was just as intense but Jane was just tuckered out. She did as much as yesterday she said she felt she was dragging. She did not get a good night's sleep. There is more swelling in her feet and legs today so they were heavier. We will have to make a point of keep her legs elevated when she is at rest.
Her hemoglobin levels are low today 7.1. The bleeding she has had prior days from her GTube is finally catching up with her. They have decided to give her another unit of blood to bump up her hemoglobin. However they were unsuccessful in starting and IV. Jane's arms have been pricked too many times. Hard to find a big good vein for the blood. So they re-evaluate doing blood tomorrow and may do a PICC line if needed.
They did a chest x-ray today because they haven't done on in a while. Making sure her lungs are remaining clean. Will know results tomorrow.
She is in good spirits just tiered. Having another unit of blood and a good night's sleep should amp her up with more energy. Thank you for your prayers!
