Closely monitoring her input/output has obviously yielded the desired results. Her weight is down. Sounds like a bad thing but since her weight has been fluid it’s actually good.
The new diuretic is doing it’s thing. She pees constantly. She’s actually wearing the nasal cannula (her oxygen) in her nose instead of taped just below it. She sounds like she has a speech impediment. Mom I’m bored comes out sounding like Mom I’m bowed. It’s pretty hilarious.
She’s been allowed to have 15cc’s of ice tea or water every hour for the last 2 days. Since she looks good Dr. Boyle increased her daily fluids by 250cc so she can have 25cc an hour today. She’s pretty excited about that.
She hasn’t slept at night in 2 days. She takes cat naps during the day and then is up chit chatting with the nurses at night. Amusing yes, but on the flip side she’s exhausted and it’s making her cranky. She’s decided that she would handle potty time alone and she wants everyone out of the room while she does it. Aunt Nik got to here her yell at me last night because I kept peeking to make sure she wasn’t trying to sneak something to drink.
I’m going to see what i can do about getting her out of bed this evening and moving around a little. Maybe she’ll sleep better.
