Sunday, October 10, 2010 - Day 6

10:10 am
  • Happy 10-10-10 @ 10:10
  • Not much new to report.  All doctors should be back in tomorrow (Monday) and they will brainstorm on the next steps.

Saturday, October 9, 2010 - Day 5

7:00 am
9:00 am

12:00 noon

  • Test results of the TEE were very good.  No bacteria or fungi.  What was seen on the previous test was calcification on the mitral valve.

Friday, October 8, 2010 - Hospital Day 4

7:00 am
  • There's a concern about one of her heart valves.  They will be doing another echo-cardiogram using dye to highlight any problems.
  • They plan to move her "upstairs" to a regular hospital room later today.
9:00 am
  • We should clarify the type of test that will be done this morning.  It is a transesophageal-echo-cardiography.  The link provides pretty nice detail.  It should be completed before 11:00 am.
    6:30 pm
    • A disappointing day since no tests were done and Dianne waited for 15 hours without eating or drinking.  We're unsure why this occurred.  It has been rescheduled for tomorrow.
