I went and seen grandma at 5pm. She seemed to be doing okay. She has an NG (Nasogastric Tube) in draining the contents of her stomach. Doctor said they are waiting for her colon to start contracting so it will be able to push feces through it before they are able to give her food. Her last blood pressure while I was in there was 140 something/102. Which I thought was high. But Grandpa said it was normal for older people to run high bottom numbers. I dont know if that is true or not. They are giving her breathing treatments and teaching her to cough and deep breath to prevent pneumonia. I have been telling her to make sure she is moving her legs around to prevent a blood clot. They do have the ted hose and stuff on her though.
My major concern is that it seems like every one of her body systems are being effected which is scary. Her kidneys and bladder is infected. She has the colon problems of course. She has the tumor on her liver. Now, she is having some difficulty breathing. I mean she is doing better with the breathing treatments... but she is reqiring oxygen. Then, her heart is having the irregular rythems. Also, the kidney infection caused her blood to get poisoned.
When were in there we try and settle her down because she will get to talking and worrying of course and her heart beat will go up. Her temperature has been down.
I guess I will update tomorrow. Keep the prayers coming.
