Procedure Day

Mom went in for the procedure first thing this morning. She was all prepped and ready to go, and Dr. Brown was about to start when suddenly her blood pressure dropped and they had trouble finding a pulse. Needless to say, it scared the doctor and nurses half to death and that the nurse was shaking when she came out of the room. They immediately stopped the procedure and she came to quickly but was sent straight to the E.R. to be looked at by a cardiologist. All of her testing came back fine, including a CT that was done, and a series of labs have been done. At this point they said she fainted, but there is no definitive conclusion on why. Some things that have been mentioned are that she is already weak, hadn't eaten, was nervous, etc. Some time during all of this, the E.R. was about to send her home when Sheila realized there were a number of things they had not taken the time to check. Once that was brought up and dealt with, it was decided to keep her for the night to monitor her and send her home in the morning. We aren't certain what the next step will be at this point, although some things have been discussed. I'll be sure to post as soon as we know what the plan is now.
