Mom's going home!

I just spoke to Dad and Mom and she is being discharged! YEAH!!! I left a list of questions for Dad to ask the doctor. I'm a stickler when it comes to wanting details and answers. They spoke to the cardiologist today and everything looks fine. The doctor assured my Dad that it is normal and common for there to be short term memory loss after anaphylactic shock and that it would be extremely rare for her to NOT recover fully and regain her short term memory abilities within the next few weeks. YEAH!!! (I wish they had told us that sooner rather than "it COULD be this or it COULD be that" - "No way to tell right now" !!) They also said that the tests indicated that there was NO significant damage to the brain and so when she stopped breathing it would not have been for long enough to do any harm. DOUBLE YEAH!!! She still has trouble remembering things from one hour to the next. (This is a BIG improvement from Saturday when she couldn't remember 5 minutes to the next!) She can carry on a normal conversation and you probably wouldn't even notice she's been affected unless you gave her a quiz over the past two days. The only issue is that if you call her or visit, she might remember tomorrow or she might not. But either way I know she appreciates your thoughts and prayers . . . and so do we! Thanks for your support!! Please continue to pray that she has a steady recovery. :)
