Saturday, February 11

As you can see from this picture taken on Friday night, Jackie is in great spirits and starting to feel better.  This was taken in her original room next to the dialysis machine.  She is sitting in a regular chair and is spending about two hours sitting, which is great.

On Saturday she visited with Debbie in the morning and Donna and Linda spent time with her in the afternoon.

Her kidney numbers were improved yesterday, which is a good sign.  We are hoping once she is up more and moving around that the kidneys will kick back in.  In the meantime she continues with a Monday, Wednesday, Friday dialysis schedule.

They are talking about moving her to physical therapy on Monday and the Internist at the hospital indicated that they were planning on sending her to the hospitals rehab floor as soon as a bed opens up.  That would be great news!

If you would like to visit Jackie at Crittenton, she is in room 837 until she moves to reahb/physical therapy.  See Thursday's post if you want to check in with my dad on her schedule for the best time or just stop by, his contact information is listed in that post.
