And Back at the Hospital...

MIL does have a bladder infection. We expected that. She's dehydrated again. Not a big surprise since she couldn't keep anything down. But she also now has blood clots in her legs - odd, since she's been on meds to address the blood clot she had in her arm (months ago). The meds should have prevented more clots. Perhaps the meds couldn't work if she wasn't keeping them down? I don't know what else could explain it.

Now they are talking about doing tests on her heart. No one is completely certain what this is about. They also want to do a colonoscopy, but they are holding off on that because they don't feel they can do that cleansing thing. I'm thinking she's had so little solid food going through her system that a cleansing would be a moot point, but what do I know. I assume there must be a medical reason they can't do it right now.

Geez, I'm tired of hospitals. I can't even imagine how MIL must feel. And now she'll be there through Mothers Day. Bummer.
