Mom keeps fighting the machines. She is so independent! Friends and family all know that mom doesn't let things just happen, she tries her best to do something about situations, if she can.
The lung doctor and the heart doctor are working together, we feel really good about the care the doctors and nurses are giving her.
There have been two things they did this morning, one for the heart and one for the lungs.
Since surgery moms heart has been in and out of atrial fibrillation (A-Fib) so they did a procedure to reset it. The hope is that it will result in her allowing the pacemaker do the work of the heart for a steady heartbeat. This would allow her to stop going into A-Fib.
In order for the ventilator to work properly they needed to do some different things to allow it to move 100% of the oxygen through her lungs.
There is still hope. We are trying to be as optimistic as possible.
