I know it has been several days sent I have had an opportunity to keep you all abreast of Abelina's status. Being that, I have been in San Francisco since last Thursday! Unfortunately, we had a little bit of a scare! On Wednesday night her blood pressure went way down and the nurses were unable to find her veins due to dehydration. So, thanks to one of Abelina's visitors we were notified. It just goes to tell you how important patient advocates are. On Wednesday night when she was admitted into the Critical Care Unit at CPMC, no one in her family or on her health care directive were notified. Luckily, the blood pressure was managed, she became stable and they were able to give her an IV. But for those of you that have loved ones in any hospital, it is quite evident that an extra pair of eyes and ears is always preferable.
Abelina's spirits took a dip for one day, she was feeling as if she took a step backwards. But with a little dose of friends and family, she is back on track!
am looking for some volunteers on the 26th and 27th of this month, to sit with Abelina. I would need someone from 12:00 until 4:00 pm and then a second shift, from 3:00 until 8:00, for both days. Her niece and nephew Eli are moving into their dorms on these days and I want to make sure that these shifts are covered. If you are available, please email me at the address at the top of the blog. Or call me at 415-302-3496!
Thanks
Diana
