Still about the same

I talked to dad about 8 this evening & things were pretty much the same. Physical therapy came by today. Got mom up for a little walking, had her sit in a chair for about an hour & a half. Dad said she was on the sleepy side for most of the day.
Mom has developed Thrush, which they have started an oral antibiotic for that. She has had, what the nurses are calling, "3 massive bm's". They have started her on an oral laxative. Which is suppose to be very gentle.
Her cardiologist came in today also. He said they are definitely going to be looking into all the meds mom is on. But it looks like the culprit for all this mess is probably her kidneys. Since they aren't functioning like they should, they're not get the toxins out of her system. But she is not a candidate for surgery, because of her heart. Mom's heart is only functioning at 20 percent.
So nothing has really been said if any surgeries or procedures will be taking place. Not sure how long mom is going to be in there. But she is being taken care. She's where she needs to be. And hopefully it won't take long! I miss seeing & talking to mom!!
Got church tomorrow & a birthday party to go to. Maybe that will help keep my mind off of things with mom!

Love Ya'll
