Post Surgery Update

Greetings,
We want to let you all know that our plans changed a little, since the last update. Danna's blood pressure was not staying where the surgeons would like to see it after surgery, so she is in the Surgical ICU unit until things stabilize. Her body is trying to adjust to life without the kidneys. Kidneys assist your body with the regulation of your blood pressure. Her blood is also acidic, due to today's surgery and her disease. She did receive her first dialysis, which they are hoping will level out her blood pressure and adjust the acid levels. She will receive dialysis for the next three days. She has also been on a breathing machine to assist with the blood pressure issue, however that was going to be removed once dialysis was over. Her oxygen levels came up to where the doctors wanted to see them....yea! If all continues to progress, we are hopeful she will be moved to a room on the transplant floor sometime tomorrow. Please continue to keep her in your prayers for continued healing.
God Bless,
Deanna
