We've had our ups and downs this week. Things kinda went downhill after we visited with the kids on Saturday. I'm pretty sure Becky's ammonia levels went up because she skipped a couple doses of the lactulose. She was pretty disoriented for a day or so, but better later. Not quite back to normal, whatever that is, but better than this morning. On the plus side, her blood pressure is back up over 100.
She had another radiology appt today. Less fluid than last time so no paracentesis. Her blood pressure stayed over 100 the last couple of days. However ... the liver doctor left a message saying her kidneys don't like the diuretics so we're having to stop those (for now?). We'll talk about this at her appointment on Friday, I'm sure. I expect fluid will start to build back up, but we'll see. Also, even though the fluid is being managed and the blood pressure is better, she still seems fairly unstable when walking and foggy headed when talking.
