Got this email from James last night:
I just wanted to send an email to let you all know that Mom is going back to the Hospital again. She’s having a very rough time recovering and is having trouble dealing with very low blood pressure and pulse. Her pulse is very frequently going down to the 40’s when it ideally should
be in the 80’s. She was thinking it may have to do with the
medications she was taking and when they were being taken but it’s continuing to get worse.
A nurse came over around 3:30 or 4pm today and said it’s best to get to the Hospital. Mom may need to get a pacemaker put in to correct this
problem. She’s tried a number of different medications to correct it
but so far they aren’t working.
Dad just left with her at 4:25pm today so we may not know anything till much later tonight, since it takes Hospitals forever to admit someone.
Then, got this text from Terry this morning:
Just talked to mom. The pacemaker specialist is reveiwing her charts for the past few hours. They will put it in either today or tomorrow and most likely go home the next day. She sounded tired but optomistic.
I was sorry to hear about Dorothy going back to the hospital. It must be exhausting for her as well as Jan. Hopefully the pacemaker will take care of the problem.
I will continue to keep her in my prayers and Lord willing this ordeal will soon be over.
Sincerely, Aunt Barbara
