Wow, what an exhausting couple of days. Mom as of this morning is STILL in the SICU. She is there for two reasons: 1. They are still waiting for an available room on the step down floor. 2. They can monitor her heart more closely and treat any arrhythmias in the SICU.
They have been watching her heart very closely for the past 48 hours trying to determine if her heart rhythm was going to stabilize itself. She was taken off of the intravenous Amiodarone and placed on an oral form. It appears that this has worked. Mom has sustained a sinus (normal) rhythm since! All other aspects of recovery are still coming along great! With this, the Chief Surgery Resident is going to evaluate her first thing this morning on rounds. If there were no changes over night, then she will be released today!!
Please pray that this is the case! Mom is really looking forward to coming home! God remains in control and we know that mom has been well taken care of through all of this. Although she is anxious to get home, she knows that what happens is ultimately God's plan. This has given her patience and strength during these long periods of waiting.
I will post another update this morning on the results of that evaluation!
Thanks all!
Will
