How Joann’s Day Went:

Joann had a better day, at least in the morning. The new 90-mg. morphine capsules appear to be doing the trick. In the afternoon though, she started slipping again. I guess that’s just the normal progression of her disease. Her heart rate keeps climbing, on average, and her oxygen saturation is slipping. Other than that, nothing new to report.
