Low Bp

Tim was admitted to the hospital yesterday after having a procedure to change the tubing on his nephrostomy drain at Memorial North. His blood pressure was 60 over 40. His hemoglobin was 7 and had a fever of 102. He was transported via ambulance to Memorial Main to a room in ICU. He is on medicine to increase his blood pressure and he received two pints of blood last night. He is doing some what better today but he is still very sick. We were planning to go to the mountains this weekend for a weekend get-a-away. Looks like we will have to postpone it.

Ditto! :) Praying the folks at Memorial will be able to get everything under control quickly so you guys can have your getaway soon!

He is still in ICU today. They are trying to take him off of the blood pressure medicine but it's going to be a gradual process. We just bought a new laptop and he is in the bed setting it up now. Whatever keeps him going! Thanks for the prayers they are definitely helping.

I'm glad to hear he's at least got something to focus on. I'm praying for you both; I know how discouraging it is to see your plans frustrated. Thanks for keeping us updated!
