Now that we've dealt with major things for Angela, the minor ones come up. She became very constipated, with a lot of pain, Tuesday. Her doctor couldn't see her, and we ended up in the ER that evening. After laxatives and pain pills there, we went home and the next day she drank the stuff that's used to prep a person for a colonoscopy. It did produce results, but she has continued to have pain and isn't sure she got all the way cleaned out. The pain has been preventing her from using the percussion vest and from deep coughing, so her lungs are getting congested again. It is starting to get somewhat better, and she's been able to use the vest today.
She saw her doctor today and was told that she is stable for the moment, but any little thing could upset her balance again. We still haven't heard any results from last weekend's tests.
Mike's grandmother passed away this week at 99 years old. Her services are Wednesday, so Mike is flying down here Tuesday, and we plan to drive home together afterwards.
We continue to praise God for the health she has and to pray that she can continue in it and improve it over time.
