A Set-Back

Last night I was called at 12:30 am. Shelley was experiencing a racing heart and high blood pressure. She had a long night of taking "vitals" every 15 minutes, meds to care for her heart, EKG's etc. It appears that her (until now) non-symptomatic Wolf White Parkinson's Disease was triggered. That has something to do with electrical currents of the heart. All seems to be okay today but now Beta Blockers have been added to her regime of meds. Unfortunately, this has meant another day in the hospital. She is still having difficulty managing the nausea but everyone is determined to help her get home tomorrow even if extra measures need to be put in place to have her nausea managed from here in the ways they are in the hospital. Eg. If a butterfly needs to be put in through which nausea meds can be administered, that can happen.

Kevin (my son) is mowing our lawn and I'm looking for things appetizing to take back to Shelley as she can no longer face the hospital's offering. So I'm off to raid the fridge!

Until tomorrow!
