I spoke to Dad this evening. I knew he didn't get home until late last night-- turns out he got in after 2:00 a.m. because they didn't get Mom into a regular room until after midnight. She's in room 171 (I believe..) in Lewisville Medical Center, just off I-35 on the Main Street Exit.
Needless to say, Dad slept in a little today. By the time he got to the hospital, the doctor had already made his rounds. Mom felt a little better this morning, but was feeling nauseated again by this afternoon and couldn't eat anything at supper (she did eat a little breakfast and lunch). They are still trying to find the source of the nausea, shallow breathing, and rapid heart rate (tachycardia?). In the meantime, they did give her more anxiety medication (according to Dad) and continue to try to find nausea medicine that works. When I called around 5:30 today, Dad said she had slept most of the day and slept all during our conversation.
Dad also seems to think they will be in the hospital for at least three or four days.
I guess there will continue to be days like this-- up and down on the roller coaster. We are all a little discouraged because she had done so well up to this point; there was talk of another swallow test soon (which there still could be), but it certainly slows down the recovery.
