All night in the hospital

I spent the night in the hospital last night with Mom. They moved her to a unit that specializes in watching peoples' hearts because they found that Mom has a blood clot in the artery that goes to her lungs. This is not the only issue and that in no way takes care of her diverticulitis. But apparently they are giving the blood clot priority at this point.

I slept in Mom's room last night and she did pretty well. Her heart is beating so fast that she can hear it in her ears but the nurse assured her that her vital signs are good. Her blood pressure was also higher than before so I think that is a good sign as well.

This is her third day in the hospital so she is anticipating a depressing day. If you are able to visit or send her a card, flowers or whatever I know she would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you for your continued prayers and support.
