It was a fire drill

Glad we didn't have to carry Denise down 5 flights of stairs with all the gear she is hooked up to. She also just completed a two hour exercise on breathing on her own and did great. O2 level stayed consistent and volume of air she had on intake was the same as when she is on ventilator.

Since her Neutrophils are greater than 500, they have decided to give her the antibiotics she still needs via injection now. The big benefit to this is they won't have to put as much fluids into her, as they re still trying to pull more fluids out than is going in. She had gained 17 pounds in the past week, all of it fluid related.
