Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | unspayed | 42 lbs

You Hi, my dog was sick a lot tonight and afterwards was very weak and was struggling to stand so we took her to the vets and they said that her red blood cells was high (62) and her blood pressure was low and also she is in the same state as we left Her, the vet also said that they was going to supplement her fluids with potassium and keep her there over night and tomorrow and will call us in the morning. We are just very worried and would like to know if she's going to be ok

It is hard to know exactly what her condition is without examing her myself, but I can assure you that being in the vets is the best place for her, and will give her the best chance. There is nothing more you can do for, so try and get some rest. It doesnt sound like there is anything too life threatening, more like dehydration so hopefully she will be just fine.
