Grannie seems to be deteriorating

The doctors just ordered her back to ICU. This is not a good sign. More as soon as I know something. Shilla is at the hospital and called Russ saying that this was the situation. I have been worried about this all day.

Update 5:58PM - new problem. She now has an atrial fibrillation. This means her heart is stuttering in its upper part. She has been hurting all over all day which is a big change. She has been having difficulty taking her medicines so that is the reason she is in the ICU. Their goal is to level out the rhythms of her heart. If they are unsuccessful, they will need to jump start her heart on the morning. That is dangerous. We found out that her white blood count is higher than normal but her kidneys are not infected. New room number in ICU is 122.

Randy,
Tim and I are flying to Mexico tomorrow, will be gone a week. Hopefully the resort will have internet service so we can keep up with the news on Edith's improvement each day. I will keep your mom, you, and your family in my prayers. Tell your mom I love and miss her.
