Update on mom
Thanks for all the prayers and moral support.
I just spoke with my sister and the morning tests (angiogram) have revealed that mom did not have a genuine heart attack, despite the symptoms. She does have moderate blockage in two upper arteries, which caused an A-fib. My understanding is that the blood was being forced between the two upper chambers, being hampered by the blockages, which caused the weakness and heart attack-like symptoms.
The doctor said it was "a good report." They are going to treat her with meds: blood thinners (aspirin), Lipator for her high cholesterol, and another med to regular her heart rate. Mom said she's feeling well and she will likely return home tomorrow. So, we're still planning to drive down for Thanksgiving.
Thank God for His mercy!
