Situation Meeting

Kay's life is hanging by a thread and every now and again there's a tug on the thread, is the best description of her situation. She's pretty much on maximum everything. The goal is to get her fluid levels down. The dialysis is working now, but only reducing her fluid level by 40ml per hour / 1 litre per day. So there's a long way to go. But as Tesco says, every little helps. She's been on her back most of the afternoon, but she will be turned on to her tummy shortly. This is better for her right now.

She's starting to suffer a bit from pressure sores, so turning her has helped that problem. One plus point is that the blood indicator for infection has decreased from yesterdays high of 450 to 300 or so. This may indicate that the infection, whatever it is, is receding. But note the caveat. Not much else to tell. No point in trying to describe how we feel, we're in undiscovered linguistic territory.
