Airport and Kim....
Well as of this morning the Cardioversion is scheduled for tomorrow. This comes after one of Kim's cardiologists telling us that it was to son and they would be worried about her throwing a clot if they did it, just last night... That's a bit scary...
Those of you that have Kim's cellphone # are more than welcome to call her, but please don't pass it to ohers without permission, and don't expect a conversation longer than 2 mins. She wants to talk but her brething is still laboured and talking on the phone is tiring to her.
Right now, instead of being with Kim, I'm wating at the airport to pick up a frind whose flight is currently estimated 3hrs L8... And no, it's not Cat :) .
I hope to be able to give more info soon, but going into large detail using my phoneis somewhat more work on this tiny kbd than you'd think.
I will elaborate more when home probably..

Another kim update for the day....
Well the Cardioaversion or TEE (heard it caled both but I guess they could be different) will not happen today. They are going to do a chest x-ray to lok at the fluids on the lungs :)
They are tenatively scheduleing for tomorrow but it's all still up in the air.
The are afraid her oxygen absorbtion is too low for the TEE (which I just found out is when they use a probe through the stomache to check out the heart to check for blockage). They are currently afraid there is a new blockage.. Joy...
The MICU attendings have come by and said she's too healthy to move to MICU which is good, but we never knew they were looking into that... Aparently they might do a drip to remove more fluid. They just lowered her Bumex (diuretic) drip to 1.6mL/hr it was 3.2mL/hr...
They are doing 'blood gas' right now... will post more when I know more.

Cardioaversion....
Small update for thosethat ant to know... Kim lost 10lbs of fluid over the weekend thanks to a heavy diet of diuretics and low fluid consumption...
As a direct result the 'Cardioaversion' procedure has been moved up to today and should happen shortly.....
Also, a small sever update. We were DDoS'd we think (no definitive proof yet) possibly due to my efforts at keeping miscreants and nerdowells off the server....

Well, I'm not sure what I am doing other than playing with yet anoter mobile bloger program. no promises of updates but i'll try.
Kim's fluids and therefore weight have gone down, but the doctors are still talking dialysis... That scares me...
If you dnt know the latest, Kim was supposed to be released from Genisis (progressive rehab), but went to Deborah for a checkup and was re-admitted here...
Deborah doctors in general don't seem to be happy with kim's attending physician when she was in Genisis but as a facility and staff, Genisis (in Millville, NJ) is top notch. Just don't use the same doctor Kim did...
I will try and post any udates here first... oh and GAbyZone will be back...
