Happy Birthday Mom! (A couple of days late!) Mom's birthday was actually on Monday, but we didn't go see her until yesterday because of the yucky weather on Monday.
They moved Mom from Baylor Specialty Hospital to Baylor Institute of Rehabilitation yesterday afternoon. I really didn't know what to expect when we went there, but I was impressed with the facility and the care she was/is getting. Earlier yesterday, they had gone in and tried to remove some fluid from Mom's lungs again because she was/is having a hard time breathing. But, evidently there wasn't any fluid they could remove. So, that didn't help her any. She had pretty much completely gotten off her oxygen, but yesterday afternoon they put it back on her because she was having such a hard time breathing. The tricky thing is that even without the oxygen, her oxygen levels are measuring normal, but she feels like she is smothering. They are going to run some tests early in the morning, and get her Pulmonary and Heart doctors back involved to see if they can figure out what is going on.
Mom looked really good when we were there yesterday. I think if her breathing was better, then she would be recuperating a lot faster and would be able to do more of the therapy. They said that they do about 3 hours of therapy a day at this new facility. So, we shall see how that goes! I am hoping and praying that they get this lung thing figured out soon so we can get her home!
