Finally got the Echo done about 1 today. She came back up and has eaten her lunch - a low sodium turkey sandwich. She is having what they call "hard beats" where the heart is beating very hard for a couple of beats. Her rhythm is still not normal so it is hurry up and wait. The doctor ordered a time study for her, which means every 8 hours they will come in and draw blood for an enzymes report. This way they can tell if her heart is giving a warning sign before the irregular beats. They are still checking her every 20 minutes or so to make sure she is still breathing normally and know what is going on in the world (to make sure that the fact of not having any sleep would make her loopy).
The nurse seems to think that the doctor will be in again today. I don't know if I believe them or not.
On another note - Kristi was suppose to call a surgeon today to schedule an appointment for a second option about not having surgery until the gallstone blocks the opening. I tell you, kidney stones and gall stones all in one calender year - what next???
I am wearing down very fast. I got to sleep a tad last night and none today, I am thinking about reclining in the chair and checking for light leaks - but am concerned that my snoring might wake up the patients 2 floors down. I am so tired that I know I would snore - even though I am sure I don't snore! Right kids???
