[ David for Laurie ]
The news for today is that the doctor would like to discharge her tomorrow. We're keeping our fingers crossed, but we don't know for sure what will happen. We need to make sure she's comfortable and they are going to try and see if her system will work right without the catheter. If the system doesn't work right they'll put one back in and she'll probably come home with something. Let's hope we don't have to worry about that.
We had 4 different nurses through the course of the day. This is what happens when patients go home and the staffing ratio stays the same.
Laurie was up for a walk 4 times and has transitioned to all oral pain pills. They did add some potassium to her via IV this evening, but the IV was to be removed after that is complete.
She's eating fairly well at this point. Not a lot, but she ate a good amount of her dinner and that's a very good sign.
That's it for now. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be writing this for her while she's upstairs resting.
Other than that, all is good.
