Day 15

This morning we were ready to pack our bags when a little snafoo happened.  Yesterday's food change worked out fine, she tolerated it well.  But since she's on so many diuretics to drain off extra fluid - she actually lost too much fluid last night.  She had very low electrolytes, potassium and sodium this morning.

No biggie, just have to tweak the drugs.  And no one ever goes home on the day changes are made.  That's the rule.  So, here we are - waiting another day to go home.  Labs are tomorrow at 8:00 a.m. - as long as they are trending "in the right direction" we'll go home with a very alert, smiley, comfortable Ellie.

As a special effort to help my girl, I had extra water, a banana and potato chips with lunch today.  I do what I can.
