Doing better but blood counts low
Britney is doing better at UMC. Her pain is easier to control and she doesn't have a fever anymore. The CT scan showed that she had a lot of air in her colon and intestines. No infection they saw in her belly. Her left lung has a lot of scar tissue and collapsed lung. I'm not sure if there was a small pneumonia there also. She was really dehydrated from not having anything to eat for a few days before she was put on TPN (food through and IV), and it took a lot of fluid to catch her up since she got back to UMC. Her kidneys are fine now she has had a lot of fluids to catch up. She is on antibiotics right now. She has been very awake and moving a lot. More when she is in pain.

I'm so glad Britney is now more comfortable and getting some fluids.I hope that she (and you) will have a more restful day today. It will be good when Casey and Jana arrive this week,since MacKenzie is leaving today. Hope that the kids are doing well with all the changes with their Mommy.As always,you are all in my thoughts and prayers.Talk to you later,so I can talk to Britney again.
ReplyDeleteJohn, we continue to pray for Britney. We don't even know you guys, but it is evident how faithful and strong you both are...and what an amazing person Britney is. Thinking of you and your family: Ted and Juliet Naone
