UPDATES:
07/03/13 12:30amish:
hemacrit 35, hemoglobin 10.2 after the 11:30pm labs (that’s also after all 3 units blood )
so based on yesterday labs, remain on saline & heperin AND have 2 units blood on standy, next labs 5:30am & 8:45am. been drugged though so gonna sleep will try to update if awake… gnite.
5:30am At least both the house & senate could agree to pass the dang “no one tries to stick Theresa unless they’ve seen her before (successful or not) law” … hehe, jk, but sticks are being accomplished in <4 attempts now! Waiting….
thank yo so much for thoughts & prayers, much needed and appreciated… feeling loved & blessed!
6:20am hematocrit 27.7 hemoglobin 8.5, still on saline but turned off heparin. i suspect more pain meds around 7:30 and they said they might give blood at 8:45 if needed. 6:45am… oops i was wrong, they turned UP the heparin and said they’ll probably change that and turn it off at 8:45 but i was lost on the whole PTT conversation about clotting 😉
9:00pm earlier they alternated turning off vs. increasing the heparin but at somepoint i got the worst pain in my head!!! that sucked! they gave some serious drugs and as of right now i feel so much better but drugged so i apologize for typos 😉
Lots of other tests & changes today and those were very helpful. As best I can tell it seems like all the transfusions were a good thing and i’m feeling much better. Hoping tomorrow I will be feeling better than i have been. I’m hoping to get a goodnight of sleep!!!
i was asleep when they did all the tests this afternoon, so i’ll posts those as soon as i get them. they’re doing labs here in a little bit so i’ll post to compare. i do “feel” better tonight than i did last night!!
I’ll keep ya posted! g’nite, thanks for thoughts & prayers!
