Rita

For those of you who don't already know, Rita is back in the hospital. I didn't post earlier because we think she is going home everyday..but she is still there. She went to the hospital on Sunday, thinking she was very dehydrated. Actually, her potassium levels were way too high which can be just at dangerous as when they are too low. Not sure what caused that...we think it was one of her meds. Anyway, her blood sugar is very hard to control and until yesterday they could not bring it down. Now, they have determined her blood platelets are dropping and are trying to consult with her transplant doctors in San Antonio about why and what to do. She is really doing well and is not being monitered by any machines there so she is ready to go home. I just wanted to let everyone know that she is in the hospital but seems to be doing pretty well. She is at Plaza Medical Hospital room #409. 817-347-4700__press 6 409.
