Mom was taken to the hospital a few days ago, with a possible blood clot. Luckily, that wasn't the case, but I'm afraid things are getting worse and worse for her. Here is my sister's latest update:
Thanks to all the prayer warriors, Dee busted out of the hospital this afternoon. She went in when her leg swelled, turned blue, and was cold to the touch at the wonderful National Church Residences at Mill run. Thanks to the swift detection and intervention, Mom went to Riverside. Fear was a blood clot but the vascular people ruled that out. But they were still concerned about the swelling and her blood pressure. So they kept her overnight. She has new meds and compression stockings which will hopefully alleviate the discomfort. We discovered that she has had a prior stroke or two. Her blood pressure is whacked out but hopefully will calm down when she settles back into her routine. They did give her lots of breathing treatments so she is over her contagion and coughing less. They also took her off blood thinners because the scare was largely caused by her leg suddenly discoloring from accumulated blood from a week ago. So no more blood tests every week which leave her bruised.
