Liquid Day

Hey everyone! Yes, today is the dreaded liquid day! Wish it were coffee!!!! I had packed us 2 protein bars for today and the maid stole one yesterday. She has us in a pickle because she knows we can't report her, smart cookie. We will share the one that is left for lunch.

First thing this morning the doc told us that the results of yesterday's blood test were not good and Sandy will have to stay another week! Her swelling from her liver has caused spleen issues, her bad protein is up and her platelets are down, which is called portal hypertension. She will come home on the 27th of June. I will still come home on Saturday. They will continue the treatments they started and maybe add a few more. She is o.k. with it as it is better to fix it now instead of coming back right away again or ending up in emerg again. Her ultraviolet treatment didn't go as smooth as expected, neither her veins would not cooperate. They will try UV Sauna today. She also has dental today which should relieve her mouth pain a bit.
There is a 14 year old girl here from Michigan who has Lyme disease. Sandy and her hit it off right away and they will keep each other company when I leave.  
Anyway I got the best gift today from someone here, will tell you all about it when I get back --made my day!!!
Have a Coffee for me. I like large, 1 cream!
