Cassie had yet another busy day in her recovery. Cassie didn’t get a lot of rest last night and woke up very tired. She was on “room air” for about an hour this morning but it was paused so she could get a permanent central line placed into her right shoulder. This central line will still allow the medical staff to give her medication directly into her blood stream while maintaining comfort and preventing infection.
Cassie was not able to tolerate sitting up on the side of her bed as she got extremely dizzy after a few minutes. They continued to work on moving her hands while she laid back down. Cassie has been off the ionotrophic agent that supports the functionality of her heart for over 36 hours, and the lab test showed that her transplanted heart is functioning extremely well on its own. The goal is for Cassie to get more time on room air this weekend and continue her PT / OT sessions.
