Mom Update 1-6-10

Mom had an echo cardiogram this morning. The cardiologist came in this evening and said that there is no doubt that Mom needed the left valve replacement surgery. I thought we already knew this, but I guess another opinion doesn't hurt. She felt like Mom would withstand surgery just fine. The surgeon should be in tomorrow to discuss the details of surgery.

The kidney doctor has also been in and has placed her on a different diuretic and seems optimistic that it will be successful in removing some of her fluid.

Hopefully more positive news tomorrow!
