Edie update day 9
Hi All:
I'm at work for my 2nd day since Mom's "accident" - it's tough! For anyone who got this in error, so sorry, just ignore, if anyone notices anyone I've missed, please feel free to forward. It's getting more difficult to keep up with calls since I'm getting in to work at about 6:30 a.m., trying to get 8 hours in and then head to Temple for the night so I thought I'd try this.
* No update on two clots in leg
* As of this morning at 10:00, she was having a very slow day - not very responsive all night or this morning.
She was that way last night while we were there too. She did "wake up" once and was desparately trying to tell us something, it's very upsetting that she can't talk and we can't understand what she wants.
* Still trying to work up to getting the drain out of her skull, hoping the temperature spike today is not infection setting in. The drain needs to come out ASAP, as of last night, they were hoping it would be tomorrow - will find out more tonight.
* Yesterday a speech therapist and throat specialist came in - she wasn't quite ready yet, they were coming back in today - she can't swallow.
* If they were unable to get her swallowing today, she'll have to have the feeding tube put back in (I'll find out about that when I get there after work).
* Still dealing with pneumonia - trying to cough up a lot of stuff yet, she is on two antibiotics for that.
* Weaning her off the drug to help relieve pressure at the base of her skull from that bleed.
We did hold up her prayer shawl from her church - when asked the next day if she wanted to see it again, she said yes!!! It's beautiful - thank you! We keep it on her bed at all times!!!!!
PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR HER!!!! WE STILL AREN'T OUT OF THE WOODS!!!
We can't thank you all enough!!!!!
Much Love,
Edie's kids
