Tuesday Updates

Her X-rays on the lungs are still showing a little cloudiness. Still trying to get blood pressure balanced - we haven't found the right cocktail.

Visitors - Jennifer Crotts and old friend from Safford that now lives in Tucson & Lori Thompson from Safford. Those brighten her days.

Last night was a long night. They kept testing and poking and checking all night. Every time the lights would go on bright. We were tired when the sun came up.

Busy morning with specialists checking mom out and getting things straight. Very busy.

Lung doctor said lungs sound good - needs to increase activity.

She will be on blood thinners for a bit.

We asked for a different general MD that we have more confidence in. The one now seems to not be aware of different issues happening.

Still trying to find a good blood pressure meds cocktail. Her blood pressure as always has remained hard to figure out.

We finally got a wound doctor, surgery specialist to come take care of the foot. Just a normal blister and nothing more. He even has suggested that we put oils like olive oil, grape seed oil on and other things on the legs. So we'll go get some. He has given the all clear to get up and around and start walk (we already did with PT - mix up in communication). Mom is very happy this means no bed pans!!! This doctor is good and will work with on vitamins and diet and other things and has some knowledge of natural health care. He will monitor her after the hospital and balance the coumadin. she can be tested in Safford and he cares for her in Tucson.

PT came and moved her and it was harder than she thought it would be - but easier than every one else thought that it would be.

Kristi went to the store and bought mom and nice pink robe and more junk food candy treats. She claims she is playing good cop / bad cop. Well I guess that makes Kally (me) the bad cop. What ever. Just remember it was my suggestion for the lemon pie.

Chelsey came back over with Nikki to help watch kids and she brought her 3 and Riley and Rachel. Should be entertaining. They could come and see mom. So no limit on visitors now - just can't get tired out.

I'm so excited: many of the care providers have a knowledge of natural products. They are giving her wonderful ideas for life style changes. They have her on pro-biotics.

So if anyone wants to edit my bad grammar and spelling - go ahead. I'm just hurrying to get something out. I think I got all the details.

We'll get some pictures posted later tonight.
