Tuesday 7:30

A little change of plans...  Dr. Newton, the heart surgeon came and talked to Sally while she was in the Cardiac Short Stay area.  He shared that she has the 3 blockages and that they will need to be resolved by bypass surgery.  He said these major blockages could make her a candidate for a major heart attack, so they need to be addressed.  The problem is that her body is not in optimal shape yet for this surgery.  So, he said we need to work on optimizing her health in  beginning to pursue a course of preparing her for this surgery.  There will need to be some additional non-invasive tests also to prepare her.

She has been relocated to the sixth floor which is a cardiac care area.

We are hoping to know more tomorrow about what the next steps will be.

She ate a healthy supper of lasagna and garlic bread, so she's feeling better.

More later.....
