Kristan was admitted to Swedish Hospital Room 4117 this afternoon, for intravenous antibiotics and a blood thinner. She had been taking oral antibiotics and administering a blood thinner at home, for an apparent leg infection, and a blood clot. Three doctors conferred, and all agreed they wanted to get more aggressive with the treatment. Caregiver Lorene helped her check in, after her HyperBaric Oxygen (HBO) appointment, while I was supporting the TDRS-L launch.
She was lethargic and not very (or appropriately) responsive, when I visited this evening. This is a common symptom, when she has an infection. Her leg has been bothering her, even though she has so much neuropathy that she generally doesn't feel much below her calf.
Update: Friday night in dialysis at the hospital, she was much more alert. I was so very encouraged. Then the lost blood incident occurred.
