Well, I got a few facts wrong this morning. Sorry!!
The Plasma Exchange is one session taking about 1.5 to 2 hours. There is only one done in a day and it is done every other day. There will be 5 sessions in all covering 10 days. He got his exchange today and they don't do it on the weekends so the next time will be Monday. Mom said they pulled and put 7 liters of blood out of and into dad. The doctor said today that they hope for a noticeable change within a few days but that doesn't always happen. Sometimes the improvements don't show until the treatment is totally done with. His blood pressure and oxygen levels continue to have great fluctuation.
Randy, Ben and I are going to see mom and dad tomorrow. Hopefully I'll have a good report when I check in with you all. I'm bringing mom the notes of encouragement you have sent. I know it will be good for her.
Have a blessed weekend. Talk to you Saturday evening.
