January 29, 2013 - Crazy Morning!!

I talked to mom tonight!! She said that this morning started out pretty crazy...her blood pressure was really high!! They don't know what caused it but please continue prayers that this was only a strange thing.

She still did push through a physical therapy session.

The nurses and therapists are telling her that she is really almost ready to head home...just have to tackle walking the loop. So then I asked, "are you ready to go home...like are you comfortable?" She replied, "I don't really know." She mentioned that she's ready for a little more quiet (as the patient down the hall was hollaring constantly while we were on the phone), ready to not have the bill adding up, and ready for dad to not have to keep going back and forth from there.

I think she's just a little apprensive but she did say she's not worried about falling or not being ready. I honestly think that the blood pressure situation from this morning wasn't helping her confidence.

All in all...I believe that they have her best interests at heart and will make sure that she's ready to go when the time is right.

Until later...

Mom update (Monday): the doctor's keep saying she's doing well. She is breathing on her own for a while then when it becomes too laboring they turn on the oxygen to assist her but its only around 20%. Then they turn it off again and keep going back and forth. The X-rays are not showing any difference on the pneumonia. They say that this is to be expected though with her body being immunosuppressed ... (from the heart transplant). 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...
