Right! I think it's a CT they're going to do but who the hell can keep up
with medical terms with everything that's been going on? They did chest
x-rays and an EKG, did their best to draw blood for lab work. I felt sorry
for the phlebotomist, her veins are so tiny it's hard for them to draw
blood.
At any rate, her cognition has declined greatly in just the three weeks
since the doctor was out last to see her. (Thank Bast I found a doctor who
makes house calls!) It took 9 hours for them to actually get her to a room
in the hospital rather than stuck in a bed in the ER. I hope she'll be
coming home again. At this point I simply don't know.
