We have non-colored straight old PEE this morning!
Praise God!
The urologist came in. He is shutting down the saline after the present bag. Straight pee after that.
If all goes well they pull the catheter tomorrow
Blood count went UP from 8.5 to 8.7!
She is making blood not losing it.
Please pray that the bleeding stays stopped.
Thanks.

Lord help us!
My wife got out of bed for rehab work and felt light headed. Blood pressure and oxygen level dropped. I was out of the room at the time and when I came back she was sitting in the recliner and had oxygen in her nose. She had not been on oxygen so I knew something was the matter. Long story short...they took her for a chest cat scan and found some small blood clots in each lung. Got her back to the room and started blood thinner immediately.
Hopefully the bladder has healed and wont start bleeding again. Even if it does she needs to stay on the blood thinner. They were going to do that anyway for the clots in her legs as soon as the bladder blood stopped for a day or two.
Please continue your prayers.. they mean a lot.. Thanks..

The pulmonary doctor came in late and my daughter talked to him..
This is her “report”..
So pulmonologist just left.. he said moms vitals were stable and she sounded good. Her CT scan shows several blood clots and some are large. Too large to have passed through the filter so he believes they were there previously. Plan is to stay on Heparin for a few days to prevent new clots and dissolve these although he said body will absorb them in about 3 months. The good news is that the clots are not blocking the main pulmonary artery that can cause serious problems. I ask him if they could “ travel” and he said possibly but didn’t seem to concerned about it. He feels she will be in hospital another 5 days or so to make sure she doesn’t have more bleeding problems. She can be up for meals in chair but no walking around. She’ll get too dizzy. As far as the fluid behind lungs, he’s going to leave it alone because he doesn’t want to do a procedure with her being on the blood thinners. She got the pleural effusions from all the fluid she’s been given and from being immobile. He feels they will absorb. They can be followed with chest X-rays. He will stop by again tomorrow. He was nice and showed me the actual scans. And how they weren’t blocking the main pulmonary artery.

She is doing better....
She is in an ICU step down room now and they are moving her to a regular room today. Bigger room and NO room mate.. thank goodness..
Vitals and Pee bag color is good. Input flow is turned way down. Hopefully all bladder bleeding has stopped. Then they can get after those clots a little more aggressively with the blood thinner.
Thanks..
