Dr. Hough was in to see Mom and has decided to keep her in the hospital through the weekend at least. She is scheduled to have a biopsy done at St. Joseph's Hospital in Bloomington Monday morning. They will transport her there by ambulance from St. James.
They have her on an iv anti-biotic and have given her a couple units of blood. She is taking new heart medicine and is given pills to help her sleep at night. She looks much better tonight as we watched American Idol. She is still weak from everything but is alert and getting her appetite back. The primary reason to keep her for now is to clear up the infection in her lung and to monitor her heart on the new medication, which seems to be doing fine. My guess is that she will be home soon after the biopsy and will be up and around again.
For right now it is rest, rest, rest.
