Dad just called. Before he and Chris left for the hospital, the doctor called and said that Mom was doing much better and could go home. When Dad and Chris got to her room, she was incoherent and kicking her sheets off. The doctor was paged and came quickly. He doesn't know what is wrong, because her blood tests show that the anesthesia is out of her system.
She is being moved from the sixth floor (with a high patient to nurse ratio) to the second floor, where she will have more intense nursing attention. They will probably put the dialysis line by her heart tomorrow at the hospital rather than doing the surgery in Lakewood on Monday as planned. They will do one, maybe two dialysis treatments in Madigan. The doctor and Dad are concerned about this change.
Dad will keep me updated, and I will do the same for you.
dialysis,
mom
