Last night Meghan peed on her own so that was a positive. This is a sign her kidneys are functioning, although she still is and remains on dialysis. She has had a little bit of fluid in her lung and because her one blood level (white blood cell count) has been higher they are thinking about doing a procedure to get a sample to rule out infection. Doctors think they are getting the infections in her abdomen under control. That being said the white blood cell count is still high so they want to just check it maybe. Today Meghan was moved to her chair in the room to get her out of the bed. She did get sick twice and that shouldn’t happen with the tube down through her nose.  The nurse flushed the tube and gave her some nausea medicine to help with that.
