Subject: Re: Friday Chat 03.06.09 by vetteblondie on 2009/3/8 2:25:44 Thank you everyone for the well wishes, and prayers to Pappy too. Mom is much better maybe go home tomorrow afternoon or Monday, once the neurologist feels the 'confusion' spells are over. He expects a full recovery for her. She was taken for a CT scan Thursday, the meds given prior reduce heart rate and blood pressure, but went too far. Thus, resulting in a 'stage three heart block' requiring a temporary pacemaker and a LOT of patience on my end. With the resulting brain functions diminished the patient will be 'crazy' and violent on occasion and frankly be nuts. There must be a special place in heaven for those who deal with dementia patients. I'm not cut out for that I've discovered but you do what you can with your parents. Now out of ICU and into our own room finally. Again thank you all. For those of you who might want to learn more about what a 'heart block' is and if you ever have one ..... http://www.merck.com/mmhe/sec03/ch027/ch027j.html |
