update
Things are getting better, but she has a ways to go.
Her blood pressure is now ok - 134/69 was the last reading.
She has nausea and dooesn't eat much. I am not sure if its a side effect of her medications or her creatine level (6.5). She is in pretty good spirits. Close friends are visiting & calling.
Today, she had the dry heaves for a few minutes - then laughed about a commercial she saw on tv.
The doctors want to get more of the liquid out of her body and lungs so that she can take the anesthesia and the operation required to install a dealybob for dialysis.

Thinking of you. My hubby and I are off soon to a fundraiser for the sister-in-law to one of my staff. Her husband donated a kidney to her last year - it failed and so now she is on dialysis too.
