Mom Update 1-3-10

Not too much to report other than they did admit Mom on Friday into the hospital and she is still there. They are working to get the fluid off of her body. This morning was the first time she had lost any weight in a couple of weeks. She lost a little over a pound this morning. Praise the Lord! The doctor yesterday gave her something that removes the fluid from her tissues and puts it into her blood stream. The Lasix she has been taking removes the fluid from her blood stream. So far it hasn't made here creatitine level go up. So hopefully now with the two of them working together, it will make a difference.

Dad is hoping they will go ahead and run the test on her heart tomorrow or very soon. (They will go down her throat with a scope to take a closer look at her heart.) Then, maybe we will be able to move forward with the heart surgery.

Thank you for continuing to pray for her!
