Rainey got her last unit of blood about two hours ago. She also took another lap and (thankfully for her as well as us) had a shower. Coach Jamie provided much needed motivation to do a lot of the things we needed to do this evening. And I’m happy to report that Rainey’s heart rate has been steadily in the 80s for the first time since the operation (normal resting heart rate in the 50s, but we’ll take the lowering at this point – she’s been in the high 90s or 100s since the surgery, which is one reason she is so weak; imagine being on a treadmill for almost a week straight, even when you’re sleeping…yeah, I know).
Tomorrow, more walking, more exercises, more. So far, the day goes downhill after she first gets up. So good vibes, please, for Rainey around 8:00 or so. I won’t tell you what we do when she first wakes up, but I’m sure it’s the first thing that most of us do.
