Second post after surgery- things not going great
My motherinlaw still having trouble breathing they supspect there might be a clot in the lungs, she is scheduled for a cat scan but she was holding water, guess they put her on a diaretic, her water is down,but now trouble with the potassium level. Personally i am never sure getting the whole truth from doctors, I thought the explanation about the thickness of her heart and,all of a sudden her valve was not all that bad was a cover story. I tried to talk her out of the surgery in the first place, but my moterinlaw and sister inlaw had made up their minds. They are also talking about maybe having to do a traceaatomy, my spelling not so good, but I guess you can only have tubes down your throat so long before they have to make another breathing hole. the icu has mostly patients in the 80's , it seems like a lot of them have some set backs. I am very nevous about the outcome. I appreciate the input I will print some of them and relay to my sister inlaw she making most of the decisions. Thank you Stu
