back to linden

wednesday morning we finally spoke to the gi doctor. evelyn didn not have free air in her abdomen, but did have an intestinal blockage. they planned a colonoscopy for thursday morning. her bladder had also shut down, they seemed to think clearing the blockage would allow the bladder to work again. mark and i came back home wednesday evening, and he went back thursday morning. when he got there thursday and they were waiting to do the colonoscopy, her heart starting registering all kinds of crazy arithmias, going form 59 to 200! they put off the colonoscopy and called in a cardiologist. it was later determined that her heart was just fine, it was a problem with their equipment!!!! rescheduled the colonoscopy for friday morning.
mark returned to jackson friday morning. they found that she has diverticulitis and prescribed her meds for that. she will be returning to linden saturday.
her bladder was still not working on its own at this point, they said that sometimes they just shut down.
she is no longer feeding herself, she sleeps most of the time, barely talking and when she does it is so low you have to get right over her to hear her.
i hope that the antiotics and meds will fight off all the infection and allow her to regain her strength.
