A good day for Nana

Nana had a good day today.  Laura spoke with her this morning, and she'd lost 15 pounds of fluid!  This is very good news, as her body will now have an easier time recovering.

Laura spent the afternoon with Nana.  One of Nana's friends was there visiting when Laura arrived.  Nana was a little bit sleepy, but nothing like yesterday.

The dialysis machine & operator
The hospital staff also performed another dialysis session this afternoon, and got another 3.5 liters (about a gallon) of fluid off of her.  Nana took a nap towards the end of the dialysis session, so it was Laura, Nana, Nana's friend and the dialysis machine operator in the room for several hours -- a full house in that small ICU room.

She's doing well enough that they're moving her out of the ICU into a PCU room sometime tonight.
