What a day. Once again, I accidently found out mid afternoon that the TAVR procedure had started before noon without notice to family. Calls were not returned, her excellent doctor in OR called me for 10 seconds and told me she did well, no intubation. We know Monday is hectic and honestly, these ICU nurses should be with patients and have a few minutes to rest instead of explaining to so many families. But after informing them 3 times that no messages or calls are coming to us and verifying the #, a new nurse checked again and it was NOT correct. Also informed us there is no way she will be home soon, pump can't be removed, BP is too low, and she must remain flat until removal. Were thankful, and hope she continues to improve without setbacks.
Thanks to you all!!

In the past, I once got a voice mail while I was working telling me that I needed to get to the hospital asap to see a dying relative. Sadly the call was a wrong number. I called back and explained to the person in a far away state that they had to try to contact the family as they had dialed the wrong number. I truly wonder how often that happens. I hope your number has been correctly recorded and that Carole's health improves. You are all in my thoughts.
Sending healing prayers for Carole and you.
Hope the good news will come in.
Big hug and take care.
Lots of love, Truus from Holland
Thoughts and prayers for news of improvement in Carole's condition.
You and Mark are also in my prayers. Bud too.
Sheldon had four teeth pulled yesterday. Is home and a bit "loopy" from the anesthesia.

Good news on Carole, and to know not to expect her home soon. I hope this time the phone number correction is really fixed. How it could be wrong after multiple people checked it...???? (((hugs)))
Marly: So sorry about Carole not being able to come home, I hope she continues to improve and happy to hear no intubation.
Hugs to you all

A bit of good news and a bit of not-so-good news....but I'm betting you will take that "not-so-good" stuff readily given that it was part and parcel of the good. ~Robin~
