Mother continues to make progress, little by little. Her urine output is in the acceptable level as far as I can see. She is averaging over 60cc's per hour. The nurse thought it was fine now. She will have one more treatment of the Lasiks today. I did not talk to the GP today but did talk to the GI doctor and surgeon. The emphasis seems to be on her intestinal system today. She will be given a partial test on her colon to look at her tissue and see exactly what the issue is. That will determine whether a change in antibiotics is needed. The GI doctor will look one foot into her colon, no more, to gain this information.
She remains on a small dose of morphine for her skin. She was in a little discomfort this morning, a little cold and hurting because of her skin. I had the nurse give her a blanket. Mother was watching TV when I came in this morning. She was awake and listened to what I had to say. She will take ice today. That will start some intake into her digestive system.
Her vital signs remain good. She remains on heart medicine. She had a small run of fast heartbeat last night of 130 beats per minute, much less severe than past episodes. Administration of the heart medicine fixed the problem.
