Tricia is comfortable in the ICU. I'm in her room right now, and she is sleeping. She says that she slept well once she was brought here last night, which is good news for an ICU. She had a familiar nurse last night, and several other of her former nurses have stopped by to see her this morning.
Her heart rate was 125 when I arrived a little while ago (down from 150's), and is now at 113 (I have that affect on her...). Her blood pressure is low, so they're keeping a close watch on that. But, her temp is down to 98.7, which is very good.
More than likely, Tricia can be described as having Pneumonia. The specifics are still unknown, but she is stable, which is good.
Also, Tricia's mom, Agnes, is on her way out today.
Thanks for your continued comments, thoughts and prayer.
I'm off to try and find something edible in the caf...
Nate
Hang in there. Glad for skilled and familiar nurses. Prayers continuing of course.

ReplyDeleteNate, are you trying to tell us that Tricia just can't stay awake in your presence? :)! Sorry, but with the good news that she is stabilizing, I just couldn't resist a bad joke!

ReplyDeleteHi Nathan & Tricia,
ReplyDeleteI haven't commented in a while so I wanted you all to know that I am still checking in frequently and I have been praying especially for Tricia since reading your posts yesterday. We would love to see you all sometime in the future on one of your trips up to VB, when everyone is more stable and immune systems are stronger! Looking forward to hearing how Gwyneth's checkups went.
Tiffany Highfill (for Nathan, too)
I'm so sorry to hear that Tric is back in ICU. My continued prayers are with you.

ReplyDeleteI just wanted to let Tricia know that I'm thinking about her and I hope she gets to go home soon and that all her test are good.
ReplyDeleteHi There!
ReplyDeleteI work at Duke (DCRI - Duke Clinical Research Institute) - North Pavilion, which is beside the Duke hotels. I ran across your website when I was doing a search on the Kelly Currin Morris case too. How nice of you to post prayers for that family when you have your own family dealing with so much. I don't know you, but I will be keeping up with you, Tricia and baby girl. You are in my prayers. I wish I could help.
Sharyn Gregory
Will Continue to pray.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear Tricia is comfortable and has some fimilar faces around her right now. You to Nate. That helps us in a hard situation.
Praying if it is pneumonia they hit it hard and meds work fast.
Just checking back in and wanted to say that I'm still praying.
ReplyDeleteI'm praying that the Dr.'s know exactly what to do and that you all can feel a peace as you rest in the fact that God is good and in control.
I havent been able to check in for a couple days and Im so sorry Tricias having such a tough time... I'll be sending lots of prayers your way for a speedy recovery and that you will also be able to reschedule her other appts. My guess is that Gwyneth is 11lbs 12 ounces : )
ReplyDeleteMore prayers, as always.
ReplyDeleteNurses you know are always the best (good nurses, I mean), in this situation.
i've had pneumonia once since my transplant (stupid airplane air). It took awhile to get straightened out but now I am as good as new. Keep the faith!
still praying!
ReplyDeleteGlad for the good update! Still praying....
ReplyDeleteGood to hear that Tricia is comfortable and able to rest. It's nice to know that she is surrounded by familiar people who will (hopefully) provided her with extra care. I hope the rest of the day is going well. ((Remember the elevator rules! haha)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to know that Tricia is getting wonderful care in the ICU. I am still praying for you both, and my family is praying here in California as well.
ReplyDeleteContinuing to pray!
ReplyDeleteNate, I just made steak and am baking some veggies. If I was close to you, (I am in Fort Worth, TX) I would bring some to you. Thanks for the update. Keep us posted and let us know how that gorgeous baby of yours weighs.

Your counter is going crazy, at this rate a lot of us are going to be WAY off with our guesses.

ReplyDeletePraying as usual for Tricia and you, Nate. It's good to see that even though this is another trying time for you guys that you are keeping your sense of humor (you said you have that heart rate dropping effect on her and I thought that was funny and so cute too). Anyway... just stepped out of Google Reader to let you know we're keeping you uplifted.
