Mother-in-law update

[kumir_k9]

My mother-in-law was admitted to ICU as I mentioned earlier.  Last report to me, her blood pressure was down to 84 over 60.  She was however awake and in good spirits.  I have since found out that she had a gall bladder issue about a year ago and chose to ignore it.  They believe it is what's causing her issues right now.  They are running tests and will in all likelihood end up taking it out.

Nothing new to report other than that at this time.  It's still a question of waiting.  I'm taking it as "no news is good news".

Thanks everyone for the well wishes.  They're much appreciated.  I love my friends.  :-)

Edit: Oops, I was talking to someone else about their pancreas earlier right before I wrote this and I had pancreas on the brain.  It is her gall bladder that's the potential problem.  They will now be awaiting the elimination of the infection before doing the surgery, so she will likely be in the hospital for days.

Yeah, gall bladder is way better than pancreas. Nasty slip that, having recently lost a friend to pancreas issues.

She is however still almost 80 years old and not in the best shape. Any surgery at this point is a bad surgery. Thank you for your well wishes.
