February 4th

Brenda watched the Super Bowl and her team won! She must have been so excited that she could not sleep. First thing this morning they placed her in the Stretch Chair for about 1 hour. Then the Burn team did the dressing change. The Renal Doctor reported that her urine output was acceptable and that her kidneys were processing Toxins at an acceptable level, better than yesterday. No Hemodialysis was required today. He said that the plan is to remove the Catheter tube used for dialysis today. The Respiratory doctor reported she is doing fine and she doing CPAP, breathing on her own, today, but during the evening the Ventilator is doing the work. The Physical therapist had her sitting at the side of the bed, by herself, for 40 minutes. They exercised her at this time. She was in the stretch chair for 2 hours this afternoon and may spend time in it tonight.
