Tuesday 11 AM Update

She is responding to nurses' questions,mostly with yes and no. I am planning to go up there this afternoon with Chepa and come back this evening. She recognized her doctor so her mental sharpness state seems to be OK. If she had a stroke, it is not apparent. The EKO heart test was just conducted and results will not be known until later today.

Right now they are working on balancing electrolytes in her system and continuing to pump liquids into her. The kidney doctor said continue on the same plan and ordered a series of lab tests at noon for her. Otherwise, there are no orders from the doctors for anything else today. Her heartbeat is 102, high but not very high. The nurse said that it is not abnormally high. Her urine is dark and the volume remains low.
