February 1

Brenda is still in the Medical/Surgical ICU listed as critical and their focus remains on her kidneys and on monitoring her Lungs. Again, the first thing this morning was her dressing treatment. This is the third day that no pain medication was needed! Next, was her Respiratory treatment. Her Occupational therapy focus was on using a Stretch band to exercise her legs, this is like a deep knee bend. They spent a total of 40 minutes. Her Ventilator are still at a PEEP of 7 and Oxygen level is at 30%. Urine output was good and they are monitoring her process of Toxin's. The Renal Doctor said that her output is acceptable, but tomorrow he will do Hemodialysis to remove Toxin's. Another day that found her in the Stretch Chair starting in the morning and ending in the afternoon, this lasted for 3 hours. The Physical therapy came and worked with her mouth.
