Ranee

Teresa just called to give an update... Ranee's white cell count is still up and she is running a bit of a fever. They drew some blood, collected some urine and did a sputum test, which is a culture of secretions from the lungs and bronchi to look for bacteria to see if they can figure out where the infection is. They also did an x-ray of the lungs. It looks like this will delay her discharge as the results from some of these tests may not be back until Tues.

Shirley said Ranee was watching the TV today, but she is not sure if she was able to know what she was watching. Although at one point today Ranee was really focused on her and watching her move about the room. She also seemed to know Aunt Gayle today.

Julie called and talked to Ranee and asked how she was feeling and she told Julie "not to good"... so that was good that she answered a direct question with a correct answer.

Shirley also said she has really be moving around a lot today and she tried often to get out of bed.
