Rainey’s heart rate actually got into the 70s, which is obviously good news. Incidentally, it also makes for a better experience when one first gets out of bed to take care of business. As I said in the last blog, that’s when stuff has usually started going downhill for us (and since it’s the first thing in the morning, days have not been fun). So far, though, so good. And Aces is even eating some pancakes (Children’s Hospital is apparently renowned for their pancakes – voted the best in Denver; maybe it’s just me, but I’d prefer maybe the hospital be known for, I don’t know, something other than their pancakes… Just kidding; they are, but still.)
She is about to get another hematocrit test to see if her red blood cell count is doing better. If it isn’t, she’ll probably get another unit of blood. That said, I may not be a “real” doctor (as my bro points out), but she seems to be doing a lot better today, so I would be amazed if her numbers weren’t better. The doctors are pushing her to get out of here today. We’ll do whatever Rainey thinks she’s ready for, but if she can’t make it down to the teen room, I don’t see how she’ll navigate her house. So today, we’re preparing for a lot of work to see how she does.
More later.
