Yesterday was hectic. Mom got transferred to the 4Th floor. She is now in room s414. She is in stable condition, however; her blood pressure is really low. She is getting tired really easily. Her blood sugar is still high today was 189 They say it is because she just ate. She is still retaining a lot of water in her body, and still in heart failure. The heart specialists will be in here shortly to discuss the plan of action. Among everything else that has been happening they said that she does have sleep apnea. She will have to sleep with the c pap on and she is struggling.
The diagnosis today was not good and was extremely hard to hear the news. I do not know what is going to happen, however we are still going to have to pray for her recovery. Her heart is badly damaged and the doctors aren't so upbeat this time about it. I know that this is hard to type and tell all, but this is serious. I don't quite understand why they moved her to the fourth floor. To tell you all the truth, she got better care in the ICU. I came in today with dad and found that mother had fell because the nurses didn't respond to the nurse call so mom got up and slipped. She is OK from the fall all she hurt was her tush. The nurses here are not as attentive as they were up in the 5Th floor. So the decision is dad is going to sleep here with mom and make sure that she gets the care that she needs
I had to give mom a shower today and she was so extremely tired after sitting for 10 min. So we have to make sure she is getting the rest that she needs.. Ty and please keep the prayers going for her. thank you.
