Mom Back in Hospital
Mom had an appointment with her PCP this afternoon. I have been concerned for some time about her low heart rate. Her previous PCP didn't seem concerned about it. The heart rate always tested low since before her stroke. I am talking about anywhere between 32 to 48. At her appointment today I brought up the heart rate numbers that I documented along with the BP. The nurse went and got a heart rate monitor. It test very low. Then they did an EKG and sent the results to the cardiologist department at the hospital. It was decided that she should go to the ER immediately. They admitted Mom to the hospital. She will be getting a pacemaker tomorrow.
I feel good about this. She has been very tired and sleeps a lot. She keeps wanting to know when she will feel better. I am optimistic about this.
She will probably come home about 24 hours after the procedure. Now I have some time to get some things done out in "the world." She is a lot of work, but I miss her already.
