Kady is looking much more alert today. She raised her head and seemed to know me. But she is still in rough shape. Fluid collecting in her body cavity is putting pressure on her diaphragm which is making her breathing labored, so they are giving her supplemental oxygen.
Her protein levels are still low so they gave her albumen and then they will check her levels again tomorrow. The albumen treatment is pretty much the last thing they can do. So there's a lot riding on that test tomorrow. Dr. Tuttle says she is showing clinical improvement, and that means it is reasonable to continue providing support. If she declines clinically, that's a pretty good indication that it's enough.
i'm pulling for her.
