We went to see Vernell this morning. Physical therapy was in the room with her when we arrived. The therapist was having her sit up on the edge of the bed... but Vernell was very weak and droopy. She said she felt like she was drunk. She had a really good physical therapist today who was going to recommend to the dr that they get support hose/tent hose and an abdominal band to help increase blood circulation.
Vernell's color was not great, very pale and her blood pressure is low again. She has not been throwing up today, which is great, however, she is not really eating, so the nurse said she was going to start her on a liquid nutrition supplement to get some calories into her.
We didn't get an update from the doctor today. We would rate her status as unchanged in most ways, and worse with the low blood pressure.
This is a very long journey...
