Mom got her transfer papers to get out of the SICU today! She converted back into a normal sinus rhythm last night. She was monitored through out the day today with no issues. Dr. Ahmad visited her today and was very pleased. She will be transferred back up to the 9th floor tonight sometime. If nothing changes, she will be sent home Sunday! (Just in time for the Super Bowl!)
All of her medications have been discontinued. She's not even on any pain medication. She says that the discomfort she does have is tolerable enough not to need any more medication. We feel very blessed to have her discharged from the hospital after such a surgery and have no prescribed medication!
Mom got back up and walked a great deal today. I guess she was making up for yesterday when the staff wouldn't let her walk so much because of her heart rhythm.
We will be scheduling a follow up visit with Dr. Ahmad for two weeks from now. If her eating continues the way it has been, then they will remove her feeding tube at that visit. She is not receiving any feeds through it now. Her going home with the feeding tube is merely a precaution should any issues arise with her eating.
We passed this little bump in the road. Mom says she can now see the light at the end of the tunnel! So can I!!!!
We now pray for no further complications!!! Thanks all!!
Will
