Hi all,Mom had another good night. They have been monitoring her output closely since last night because she has not been peeing enough for their liking. They infused a dose of diuretic in her IV this morning and when we went in again at about 10:00 she was peeing and everyone was happier. She will probably stay in ICU today because of that. They do not seem to be worried about it however. Dr. Weldner said this morning that considering what her body went through and the fact that she has chronic renal problems anyways, that it is not unusual for her renal actions to "to go to sleep for a bit". He was not at all concerned. He told mom "I'm grinning from ear to ear" with regard to her recovery! All other things look great! She is still not hungry and didn't even want coffee this morning. She had jello around 10:00 and Martha got her some pudding and butternut squash soup that she might enjoy later today. She was in heaven when we got her a very hot facecloth for her face and neck early this morning. They have her sitting up (which she needs to do for at least 2 hours morning and then again afternoon)but she is still groggy and very sleepy. She said again, "I can't believe it's over." She is still in somewhat of a time warp. Her throat is bothering her a bit and also her back. Her voice is raspy and she speaks very slowly and softly BUT coherently! Things are continuing to look great!! We will be hanging around the waiting room again today and I'll check email regularly if anyone has questions.
