I would like to thank everyone who stopped by the comments section or sent me an email and offered your support. You guys are great!
Here are today's particulars for Suzy:
Good News
Kidney function remains pretty good, so systemic failure does not seem imminent.
Bowel functioning has resumed, so hopefully the ammonia levels in her blood will moderate.
The ventilator has been adjusted, and they have been able to drop the oxygen a little closer to room air.
Blood pressure medication has been reduced, and she has been able to maintain the pressure better on her own.
Bad News
She has some pneumonia, which is hindering her oxygen uptake.
Ammonia levels have not yet started to drop, and have even risen somewhat.
The start of all this mess, her liver, is at best severly damaged. The doc said, "She isn't out of the woods, and she may never get out of the woods."
I will try to post something a little less clinical later tonight.
