I have not talked with Mom today which feels strange. But this is what I have learned. With another medication change mom's heart went back into a normal sinus rhythm so that no heart scope or other procedures were needed. They did stretch her esophagus as planned because she has had increased swallowing issues. This procedure evidently lead to some nausea therefore between mom's normal tendency to come out of anesthesia slowly and the nausea medication she has been real sleepy today. Her throat also is sore (such she relayed in a text.) Both nursers I have talked to have assured me she is doing well. Her heart has a normal rhythm and other than being sleepy she is not complaining. One nurse told me she was wonderful. I wanted to say I know she is wonderful but does she need anything and is she feeling okay. There are good chances if her heart maintains its rhythm she will go home tomorrow but there are no details or confirmation regarding that yet. Thank you so much for your prayers and checking in on us.
The big hallelujah is Peter told me Texas Roadhouse called him back to work. They have schedule him 30 hours this week and he will work late afternoons getting off early evening. This is such a relief. He had spent all his money and I felt like he was now working on spending mine! But even more so, he needed purpose and people. He loved his job at Texas Roadhouse and a lot of it had to do with the people. There are some people there that know him (and pieces of his most recent story) so it feels like it might be a safe (at least emotionally) place for him. The schedule is good for him because of his medication etc. Of course there are concerns with him working so in the public due to the Corona virus. However I am trusting they will instill in him taking precautions at work and I will follow him around the house with a Lysol can when he is at home. And I will pray!!!
Feeling some relief from the storm this evening. So grateful for all the prayers and kindness.
