Disconnected...

We recieved good news on Mom's chest xray and echocardiogram today from the cardiologist. They were both good which means her heart is healing well and her lungs are staying clear. She is doing so well, that the cardiologist removed the two lead wires that were left in place for her external pacemaker After this procedure she has to lay flat for several hours and take it easy for the rest of the day. Of course, they tell you to stay still and they continue administering diuretics.... hmmmm. Ok, as the kids would say "TMI" ( that is short for Too Much Information). They will watch her blood pressure and other vitals closely for the next 24 hours and hopefully, hopefully she will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. Exactly one week post-op for open heart surgery. Amazing. She is still on oxygen but they are also weaning off of that.  After her discharge, we are to stay close by in the hotel for a few days just to make sure that she is well enough to fly home. We will keep you posted on that front. I will update again later... just wanted to share the good news.
