Wednesday April 29, 2009

The results of last nights MRI indicated a blockage. Today Mom was scheduled for and endoscopic procedure to determine the cause of the blockage and relieve the obstruction. Unfortunately, due to the procedure she was unable to eat or drink and as a result was unable to take her meds. Mom's heart rate elevated and they were unable to perform the procedure.

They have moved Mom to the Telemetry unit to keep her monitored, while administering meds. Once Mom's heart rate has stabilized, they will reschedule the procedure. We expect that the procedure will happen within the next day or two.

Mom remains in good spirits and they will continue physical and occupational therapy while in the Telemetry unit.

Thank you all for your continued support, thoughts, and prayers!

Jim, Joshua, and Melissa

  3. Well I'm sorry to hear about the delay in testing. Keeping my fingers crossed that all will go well and that they can do the procedure soon and then feed you something yummy! Hang in there and thank you SO much for the daily updates. We talk about you all the time @ Cubberley and everyone is so happy I can keep them in the "loop" b/c of the blogs. Stay positive, Kathy :)
