Day 18 - Evening update.

Well, it has been quite a day. Dr. Griffiths decided to do a couple of things to try to get Rita's blood preasure and heart rate under control. One was to increase her volume so she gave her increased fluids and Rita is in the process of getting a blood transfusion. She seems to be responding OK to this. Secondly, Dr. Griffiths suspected that Rita may have an infection that they haven't been able to detect so, she is giving her some new antibiotics. Hopefully, these actions will get Rita stabilized and back on her feet without passing out. We will know more tomorrow about how this is working. For now, she is resting comfortably.

Going to keep this short so I'll be signing off. Keep those thoughts and prayers coming!!

Love, Dave
