Update on Mom
I'm really sad to say that things are beginning to look bad. Mom's blood gases are really off and they're putting an endotracheal tube down her throat right now. Then tomorrow, they're planning to cut a hole in her throat from the outside and put in a tracheotomy tube. The tube should correct the blood gas problem, according to my sister (who's a doctor). But she and Dad are really really worried which is making me worry. They understand more about what's going on than I do, me not being in the medical field.
But as I say, we're taking it day by day since we can't predict anything from one day to the next. I'll keep posting updates as I'm able.
ADDENDUM:
Mom's being sedated for today and tomorrow to minimize her discomfort with the tracheal tube. Then Sunday, Achan Amaro (monk) will come to visit her and pray for her.
