T + 39 Low blood pressure

We went in for a follow-up appointment today and Annette's blood pressure was very low so they did a blood culture to look for a possible infection that would cause the hypotension. To be proactive they gave her IV antibiotics and because she was dehydrated, some  IV fluids. Our scheduled respiratory therapy session had to be cancelled because these issues took precedence. We'll reschedule that for next week. After the IV's her BP was somewhat better though still low. Once at home her blood pressure improved. We won't hear about the blood culture results until early next week.
