Saturday and Mama is again very ill

We again must report that Mama is very ill. She has trouble breathing and her coumidan spiked to 6.0 this am, and the hospital called, fearing a stroke. They did a ct and checked and she has some bleeding around her lung. No stroke. They gave her 2 pints of blood and one platelets I think.She was taken to CCU.

Dr. Jones now believes she is alergic to the Coumidan, along with her other complications. They are discontenuing that and will do a medical procedure which may relieve the fluid collecting around the outside of her lungs. they will do the procedure as soon as they are able. They hope to do it tomorrow. they have the Coumidan down to 2.5 this evening and want it at 1.5.

Mama is alert and answering questions correctly but exhausted as can be expected.

Creig, Connie, Susan and Don, and Greig are at the hospital. They have restricted all visitation so she can rest.

this post sounds shakey to me, sorry, I think thats how we all feel.

I will keep you posted.
