Saturday:

When the doctor made his morning rounds, he attempted to reduce the work of the respirator and to have Grandma Foreman do more of the breathing on her own. That was not successful. She began to struggle with the breathing, so he set it back the way it was.

While that doctor was there, the doctor in charge of her intestinal bleeding also made his rounds. He ordered another unit of blood as well as more plasma.

When Arline went for the last permitted visit of the evening, she found Grandma to be sleeping very soundly and did not wake her.

Sunday (AM):

Arline reported to Judy that:

  • Grandma Foreman is feeling some aches in the arms and legs.
  • She has developed a bed sore in the thigh area.
  • They have given her Vitamin K for blood clotting.
  • They have given her medication for the fluid retention.
  • Fungi and bacteria are still evident in the lungs.
  • Again, they tried to set the respirator in a way that would allow her to breathe more on her own. That was not successful. She began to struggle, so he left it as it was.
  • Her protein levels are low.

Psalm 2:12 "Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him."
