Mom update!

Janet · 07-31-2007, 02:46 PM

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.

Poor Mom! We'll all be praying for her heath and that she keeps her spirits up.

Love,
Judy

Janet, you've really got your hands full right now. My prayers will continue for you and your family.

Janet I will be praying for you and your family.

Thanks everyone. It has been a bit nerve wrecking here lately. Seems like everything is happening at once. Now my husband says his insurance may not pay him disability while he's off three months. That is not good for us. He has Aflack through his work and I guess they are one of the worst insurances to have. We've never had to use it because I carried all our health insurance. Mine will cover me if I'm off work, but not my spouse.

I'm not sure how much more bad news or stress I can take. I know we're never given more than we can hancle, but I feel like I'm about ready to go nuts. Who knows, I may be happier if I'm nuts....LOL

Oh no! I hope he does get his disability! He'll be laid up for a few months, right?

I'll be praying for you, for sure. You really don't need this now, with your Mom sick too.

Love, Judy

Janet I will be praying for you. I just hope God will reach down and give you peace through all this.
