January 15, 2013 - First full day at TNR

So...I called tonight to see how mom's first full day went. Well....

Dad said she was apprehensive because they made her get up and walk. She was using a walker of course because it's been 2 1/2 weeks since she's been up. I guess she did well enough because they went ahead and removed her catheter.

I asked if the food was any better than the hospital but dad said she's not really eating it...and didn't want to talk about it.

Hopefully tomorrow goes better. She's just still apprehensive about being there and change takes some getting used to.

Hang in there mommy!!

Until later...

The cardiologist continues to monitor her heart function and says it's doing great! They are trying to give her lasiks to increase her outflow (which is how to get the pneumonia out) but when they do her blood pressure goes too low so they back off. They are optimistic and say it will just take time. Their first goal is to get her stabilized enough to take out the tube. As a family, we appreciate the continued prayers and thoughts. It's been tough knowing that when she does "wake up" that it will be a new year...but as my dad so wond...
