"She had a good night." The nurse said to me as she explained that I would not be able to see her now because they were both changing nurses and working with Mom. When they change shifts, since there are two nurses there for a while as one updates the other on what has happened over the previous shift, they take the opportunity to work together and do things like change dressings, etc.
This is day three. The last of the critical three days the doctor spoke of the first morning we were here. He said the first 72 hours after a heart attack are the most critical because that is usually when the patient can experience "toxic rhythms" with their heart (perhaps like Mom experienced last night). So today is the last of those critical days.
Good morning Mom! I'm told that you had a good night. I sure do hope so! I just want to remind you that you are loved and cared much about. Many people have voiced their concern and that they are praying: Bill and Anne Lovekin, Betsy Baker, Bev and Al Moore, Karen Keller, Joan Moyer, Kim Crews, Andrea Lill, Wendy and Dennis Cole, Mary LaFluer, James and Linda Topmiller, and Julanie Lee, just to name a few! "The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in Him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise Him." Psalm 28:7
