I took Mom in for the T.E.E. procedure, where they stick a camera down her throat to look at the backside of her heart. She does NOT have an infection. It seems she had a light heart attack and didn't know it. It caused part of the bracket on the side of her heart (holding it in place) is broken. The Dr. that did the procedure will read it more this afternoon and evening and then send the results to her heart Dr. It really looks like she will have to have heart surgery to repair the damage.

They are still treating her with shots so that the kidneys will tell the bone marrow to make more blood cells since she's not really losing blood, just not making enough. AND her kidneys are functioning at 27%. It really doesn't sound good, but we'll know more and understand it all better when we see her heart Dr. on the 13th.

Hubby has his back surgery the 9th, school starts the 13th and I also take Mom on the 13th. I think it's going to get a little rougher before it gets better.
