Dear Family and Friends,
Sheue-Ling (Marlene's sister) spent the night with Melissa last night. Here are her observations:
1. Melissa did not sleep at all again last night. Rest is a key component for Melissa.
2. Fever is high … between 102.9° and 104.4° F.
3. Heartbeat is also high … between 145-151.
4. Blood pressure is slightly high at 145/83.
5. She is on Fentanyl again. This is the medication that is 10X stronger than morphine.
6. Melissa’s legs are shaking, but according to the nurses this is the normal effect of one of her medications.
7. The nurses will increase her dosage of Methadone which will hopefully cause less shaking. But we’re not sure what symptoms or side effects would be.
8. At this time, Melissa expresses no responses in her arms.
9. Sheue-Ling was not able to communicate with her at all even though Melissa was awake.
10. The nurses are having some difficulties finding a place to draw blood from Melissa.
Please keep praying for her.
Thanks,
Steve
