Home at Last

Home at last! Now if I can only convince K to go to sleep...

Doing Better

I was walking into St Jo this afternoon, and (perfect timing) ran into them wheeling Kristan up from dialysis. She seems to be doing much better, but not really back to her usual baseline ( whatever that is :-/ ). They're planning on discharging her this afternoon, which past experience tells us probably means late evening. Mandy's waiting patiently out in the car for us.

St Jo Overnight

The CAT scan came back normal. So they decided to admit her overnight, and see how it goes. They also saw the high white blood cell count that KP has been reporting. They were thinking of doing a spinal tap, if she doesn't get better by the morning. I left around 2:30, after she was settled into room 467. By then, she was a little more lucid, but still very weak.

CAT Scan

No luck at the local KP. Nothing obvious in the lab tests. Now we're off to St Joseph hospital ER for a cat scan. Heh. Wish I were joking. Lab test. Cat scan.

Shaky and Confused

We're hanging out at KP urgent care this evening. K had a scary low blood sugar late this morning, and doesn't seem to be recovering all that well, still shaky and confused after too many hours. We asked them to check her over, and see if they can figure out what's going on.

Tests done

K says she's finished all the tests requested by Univ of Chicago. Last one was a Cardio stress test, which went well. So the recent high WBC count, and ongoing bouts of nausea, are the only sour notes I'm aware of.
