A little better

The chest xray shows small improvements but everyone agrees that her lungs sound much better. The vent is currently on 80% so they're going to lower it to 70% today and then see how she does. The goal is to get to 50% as soon as possible. There's a bunch of blood in her urine all of a sudden but I seem more worried than they are. Her platelets were at 13 yesterday so she got platelets last night and now they're up to 55, which is good. The nephrologist is supposed to be coming soon

We've gotten quite a few cards. Thank you so much. When she's awake (which she is too much), I show her the pictures. Keeping her sedated is tough. Plus, she's stubborn. She won't squeeze the nurse's hand or wiggle her toes unless I tell her to. She has to stay sedated so she doesn't try to breathe on her own.
