6/9

As of today, these are the complications:

Mom's heart is not functioning without medicine to keep her out of A-Fib, so her heart needs help.

They needed to paralyze her to allow the ventilator machine to do 100 % of the breathing; her lungs are not capable of working.

She can not regulate her body temperature, fever is fluctuating back and forth.

Fluid entering her body is not equal to the amount exiting, however at this point she is not strong enough for dialysis.

Today our family is making decisions about how many different things our Mom would want the doctors to do to keep her alive. She was hoping to be home one week ago from today. Her sister who came to help her adjust to being home is leaving and mom didn't get a chance to say hi.

We know that our Mom would want to go home from the hospital with confidence she would be better than before surgery. She has taught us how to be courageous and we hear her voice helping us make this decision.
