Amazing!

Report from Lauren who is at the hospital:

Just finished the first test of intermittent dialysis. It went amazing. They got 4 liters of fluid off and her blood pressure actually improved instead of dropping. Because her BP is looking so good they may even be able to take her off the blood pressure medication.

For now the plan is to do the dialysis everyday. It makes her really tired, but will make a huge difference. Hopefully she will feel better with the fluid coming off.

    Later this same day they tried turning off the blood pressure medication and her blood pressure dropped enough that they will be leaving it on for now. We'll take what we can get. She's doing wonderful.
