Monday 8 AM

Dr. Alman from the UAB group dropped by about 7:30 to listen to Sally's chest. She said that the cardiology notes indicate that they are to do an additional echocardiogram today to look at the heart before moving to a heart cath/angiogram.

Dr. Jimenez, the urologist, came at 8 AM and drew a little picture of her kidney stones.  There are actually 3 and they are in the tube that runs down from the kidney down to the bladder.  He says they are too low to be broken up by ultrasound.  They will probably need to be removed surgically.  He says that her health is not good enough right now to be going down to the operating room.  He says we can encourage her.  He said that he'll probably do another CT scan today or tomorrow to see what's going on in there.
