Fighting the Infection

Vicki remains in Intensive Care, and has finally started to conquer the infection that landed her there. She's been sitting up and chatting, but is very bored, as there is very little to do in a ward which doesn't usually expect its patients to be too aware of their surroundings. It's also very hard to sleep in this ward due to the barrage of machines bleeping at monotonous intervals. Finally today, Vicki came off the dopamine that was helping her hypotension. She seemed to maintain her blood pressure off this drug, so that's something positive. Also she's off the blood products today, so she's not quite so machine dependent today. She does however still have an issue with Potassium and Magnesium deficiencies so she's still being infused with these along with a plethora of antibacterials and anti-fungals. Hopefully she'll soon be back on the Ward to finish her recovery.
