My last update on my daughter was so good...but it didn't turn out that way. She was cleared to go back to work, but with limitations... she couldn't lift more than 10 pounds. Her employer wanted her back but wouldn't agree to the lifting restriction. So there was a delay.
Well, her improvement was not as good as the doctor had thought, in fact much worse. Not much improvement at all. They discovered this when doing the actual testing of the heart. She had developed bronchitis, and as a result of the coughing, one of the leads dislodged from it's place in the heart, and was actually causing damage. In addition to this, her blood sugar is very high...she is type 2 diabetic, and when there is an infection, it causes the blood sugar to go way up. The cardiologist cannot do the surgery until it comes down. The pacemaker has been disconnected, and her ef is very low. She is scheduled for surgery next Tuesday if they can get her blood sugar down. She isn't eating any carbs at all, but that doesn't seem to be helping.
She will be put on the transplant list once the diabetes is under control.
I can't wrap my brain around any of this. I am going to head to Florida...
