Mom is off all of blood pressure medications and antibiotics. Blood cultures done tomorrow will reveal this weekend the status of her infection. She still has a feeding tube that goes straight to her stomach. It provides nutrition. She is more alert and delighted with visitors. Please be sure to wear the blue plastic gloves available when you visit. There is a special blue gown available if you want to get closer in her personal space. Make sure to use the antibacteria liquid on the walls before you enter and wash your hands when you leave. Her immune system is weak and washing hands helps alot. She has lost time and is not sure of the chronological order of events. We are telling her the most recent information, but not overloading her. Thanks to all of the visitors who catch the shifts we are not able to be at. Dr. Del Toro tells us he is keeing her in ICU till Monday. After that, she may get to be moved to a regular room. At that point, visiting hours will be more flexible.
Again, visiting hours are 9am, 1pm, 5pm, and 9pm. The hospital is Lafayette General. ICU is on the 7th floor and she is on the south side in room 15.
