In Manic Monday I mentioned my mom not doing well. The family doctor just sent her to the ER for tests. They want bloodwork, and to rule out she had a heart attack. She's also gained 12 lbs of fluids.
I think I'm leaving work now to go sit with them.

Her breathing won't get better until her heart does. Her heart doctor is going to see her tomorrow. They did give her paperwork on congestive heart failure. I guess I didn't put it together that that's what she has.
One funny thing is she won't go on elevators and they wouldn't let her take the stairs. So her nurse, God bless her, pushed her around the building to get to her new room. Of course that's when Jeff and dad drive by from getting her stuff for the night. So they were blowing the horn and yelling... Always gotta make a scene!
I guess she had an appt with the heart doctor Friday. He was going to start her on the fluid pills then. They didn't start sooner because they were still tweaking her other medicines. She did see the heart doctor this morning so everything seems to be going good.
