Well, today marks the 11th day mom has been in the hospital. Whew! What a long haul for her. She's still in the SICU. There are no beds available on the step-down floor. We still have plans for discharge tomorrow, however there is still a little concern for her heart that seems to be a little irritated. She's developing some premature ventricular contractions ( PVC's) which isn't a major concern for the normal person. But, if you combine that with mom's history of heart failure, it's something that needs to be watched a little more closely. She was placed back on an Amiodarone drip to help knock the PVCs out. She'll stay on that tonight until she's re-evaluated tomorrow morning. At that point, we're hoping her docs are content enough to release her!
Other than that....she continues to improve on the surgical aspect of things. Her self-mobility is becoming better every day. She's certainly looking forward to going home where she can maneuver more comfortably.
Hopefully, this will be the last update while in the hospital. We pray for stability in mom's heart rhythm, comfort and discharge tomorrow!
Thanks all!!
Will
