Mom’s doctors have finally completed the list of all the things wrong with her:
Perforated ulcer: did not heal despite the surgery to patch it and have the patch hold. Hopefully it will heal by itself.
Irregular heart beat: Unable to shock her back into rhythm due to a blood clot in her right atrium
Abscess in her abdomen: Seems to be better now after drain placed and lots of IV antibiotics.
Blood clots from her left knee to her left hip: Hopefully the blood thinners will take care of the blood clots.
No solid food since May 19 until today, May 29. Sure she received TPN through her veins for 2 days, but she is still very weak.
Diarrhea: No one seems to know why.
The doctors all seem amazed that she is doing so well with all these issues at 86. They have no idea of just how tough she is and has had to be all her life.
