Sunday, February 26

Today has been a bit of a setback day for Shar.  She was been lethargic, working harder to breath and not able to answer questions.  Today her name has been January 25, but she did know Mindy and Steph's names.  There was a discussion about sending her to the Reading Rehab, but those plans have been put on hold until they figure out what's going on today.  They have ordered an EKG, chest x-ray and CT scan of her brain to see if anything comes up.  Her blood gas level was a 76 which is considered critically high which means she is retaining too much carbon dioxide.  This could be the cause of the confusion and lethargy - although when she was awake earlier she did some straight leg raises and heel pumps.  Her friend Kim the PT would have been proud!

We continue to be thankful for all the prayers and will update tonight if/when we get more information.
