Today was an interesting day for the family. Last night (Thursday) Mom began to be a little anxious. She had a restless night and slept most of the morning, but it was a disturbing sleep for her. She woke up about 3:00 pm in somewhat of a panic and wanted to see all of her family. Shortly after she woke, the nurse came and discovered her heart was racing. She immediately put mom on medication that would bring it back down. The nurse informed us that such a high heart rate would cause these feelings of anxiety and also dizziness (which explained why we found her on the floor this morning). By the evening, she was feeling much less anxious - although still very tired. All of her siblings were able to come in a visit with her and she was so happy to have seen them all. Thank you everyone for rushing in to see my mom!! It was a nice visit for everyone.
