Monday Mom Update

So Mom did not have the planned procedures today. The anesthesiologist was uncomfortable putting mom under today with her heart in its current state.  I not sure if it was blood pressure, pulse or other specific that was the issue. The plans are layering as far as I understand it.  First she is to have her esophagus stretched to allow for the next procedure which is a scope  down the esophagus to look at the heart.  And the results of that would determine what steps would be taken next.  

Mom was put on another combination of meds in hopes of getting her to a safer place to have the procedures start tomorrow.  Mom hasn't slept well the past couple of nights.  Due to the Corona virus, he food has to be served in Styrofoam.  (When they don't forget to bring her a meal that is  That has happened twice.)  Mom says the food is typically cold.  Mom is empathetic to the situation the virus has put the workers and doesn't blame anyone.  But I think all of these things are getting a bit old and wearing.  Today she was cranky - her words not mine.

Thank you for praying for mom.  I will try to update here tomorrow.  I am touched by the kindness of our friends.  Thank you so much for your concern and prayers.
