Yesterday was a very exciting day! The doctors slowly took Renee off the new sedation medication (Versed) that she was on. She did very well coming out of it all evening but was very agitated by the breathing tube and not being able to swallow or cough on her own. Although she has been off of Versed since yesterday, she will still have it in her system for some time. They now have her on pain medication and another medication that won't affect the respirator.
Although she is still on the respirator, she is breathing very well on her own and they will hopefully remove it soon.
She has been a little agitated and in some pain and we are trying to keep her heart rate and blood pressure down so we are trying to be calm and positive as much as possible.
Today she had a 101 fever and her white blood count (immune system) is getting better but it is still important to keep all sick people away!
Jen Peirson has been working on getting everyone together to just be a group all fighting for Renee. For more information, leave your email address.
Thanks!!
Audrey

Hi friends,
ReplyDeleteNeedless to say, everything that has been going on with Renee these past few weeks has been pretty overwhelming for everone. Since it is not good for Renee to have visitors, we thought it would be nice to set aside an evening where we can all convene together . We were doing that in the ICU, but it got to be too much for the staff and the family to handle. It is no secret how many friends Renee has, and we thought it would be great for us to get together in honor of our friend. Wednesday evening, January 27th, some of us are going to meet up at Round Table Pizza, (Kyle's joint, on Beach Blvd, the same Round Table where her benefit was held in November) just to be together and gather for our friend. All are welcome to come! We will be there at 7:00 p.m. Hope to see you there.
Thanks!
