"Pheunmonia again"

Well, Saturday turned out to be a fairly good day up untill about 10:00 pm.

Dar started a "sloppy" cough and by about 1:00 in the morning I was having to suction her quite a bit. At about 2:00am when I pulled her inner canula and found another green plug I made the call for transport.

We were off to Enloe Med Center yet again. We were in the ER till 1:00 in the afternoon yesterday and then transfered to the ICU. Dar developed a very low blood pressure that had to be controlled with Dopamine, something that elevates the blood pressure.

By 5:00pm when I saw Dr Verma Dar was stable and most likely will be transfered to the DCU, stepdown, sometime today.

It amazes me how fast this illness (pheunomina) can come on. Dar had a "PIK LINE" put in that will help with all medication deliveries and blood draws. She has had 2 of them before. This last one proved to be a very hard placement. Twice the "tech" tried on Dar's right arem and twice she failed. Finally she was able to get it place in Dar's left arm. This too proved to be a major task. Dar's little veins make it very difficult.

We are going to also have Dar's feeding tube replaced while she is "visiting" ol friends she has made in the DCU

It was a very long day yesterday and I was totally exhausted by the time I got home. Feed the dog and go to bed was all that I could muster.

I will be checking in with the ICU this morning and will find out how Dar's night was. Jamiesue will be headed over this morning to spend the day with mom.

Please know that we appreciate your continued prayers of support and encouragement.

Love to all,
Dar/Danny/Jamiesue
