Cathy Update Tues 7th Sept.
Mum is doing okay, but her potassium levels are still too low. This means she has an irregular heartbeat, as potassium is what helps your heart keep it's rhythm (the things you learn....). Anyway, she can't go to the rehab hospital until they have the potassium and heart rate under control, so it looks like Mum will be stuck at Jessie Mac for at least another 5 or 6 days minimum. Apart from that, she seems fine. Pain is being managed and she looks well, but tired. Of course the potassium will have a lot to do with that too. The doctors and nursing staff are confident they can get it under control, but it might take a while. Mum tells me she was having trouble with her potassium levels BEFORE she went to hospital too, so we just have to wait and let the medications do their work. I will be seeing her again tomorrow, so I can regale her with a full account of Stephen's performance! More then.
