This is just an addendum to Wednesday's info. <br /><br />July 27, morning<br />I just got off the phone with Mother.<br /><br />The drugs that are supposed to fix the afib are cumulative; Musselman felt that they would eventually do the trick, so didn’t zap. Dad had one panicky breathing incident yesterday afternoon. They gave him a blood transfusion just before that, in the continued effort to get his blood pressure up.<br /><br />He’s not eating anything. Mother says she doesn’t know how hard to push on that and can’t get to the hospital early enough to talk to a doctor about it.<br /><br />Mother talked to Wyatt Rousseau and got a script for some drugs to fix her drug-induced thrush. Malouf picked it up for her last night before he visited her. He says she ate well. Rousseau wants her on oxygen full-time—as few breaks as possible.<br /><br />Last word is that they planned for Dad to leave Hamon on Friday, same day as Mom’s appt. There has been some talk about him going to Edgemere for rehab instead of Jackson; Mother has heard the facilities at Edgemere are definitely inferior and wants Daddy at Jackson in inpatient rehab. She may need help insisting on that.<br /><br />The phone number at the nurses’ station by Dad’s room is 214 345 3290. You can call there for updates. If they ask for a code word, it’s “D-don.” <br /><br />Kirkpatrick called Mom and said the SW procedure may be possible.mmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01966667400359490255noreply@blogger.com
