Becky called the Cardiac ICU this morning and was told that Mom "had a good night". Renee and I just returned from the Clinic. Mom is still sedated - the nurse I spoke to said that would be the case for "several more days" - but she did wiggle her toes when the nurse asked her to. I happened to see the part of the incision in Mom's abdomen & left side when the nurse checked the three drainage tubes. It goes up and over into her back, too, so she'll have quite a scar. The good news is that Mom's condition is stable. All is as it should be after this type of surgery, which is excellent for a person who is almost 80. Nobody can really say how long Mom will be in the ICU. Once she's moved to a regular floor, I'll post an address bc she'll be allowed to receive mail then. I will be going back on Monday, but if I hear anything from my siblings, I'll enter it here.
I just viewed this and the spacing is wonky - Julia, can you help?
Spacing is fixed, Momsie
