Stayin at the Holiday Inn

Mom went in for her Bronchoscopy today and landed herself a two and a half day stay at the Hospital in Sioux Falls.

During her appointment her doctor ordered a CT scan for her, in waiting for the results her blood pressure and heart rate began to climb. In the CT scan they discovered fluid around the bottom part of her heart and around her left lung. They admitted her to the hospital to bring her blood pressure down and her heart rate back to normal which was double her normal rate.

As they were prepping the meds to calm down her heart, it calmed down on it's own but they are keeping her for the next couple nights to keep a good eye on her, and try to do the bronchoscopy on Friday before they release her.

I got to talk to Mom on the phone and she said she doesn't feel like she should be in the hospital; she said she isn't sick enough. She had encouraging words and feels ready to run out the door. I told her to stay put and pretend like it's a Holiday Inn without the scary pool.

Here's her and Kathy waiting for the Doctor... there was a lot of waiting today...They're pros!

Continued prayers for her healing is appreciated.


Off to bed
