Susan

Update from Pete last night is that the results of the most recent CT scan show some "discrepancies" in the brain, indicating a stroke. A feeding tube (nose, throat, stomach) was inserted on Sunday evening after we'd left. She didn't respond or move with the procedure. She remains unresponsive. The doctor is also concerned about her kidneys and was to do more testing on kidney function today due to varied conditions that have cropped up--poor output, discoloration, hands swelling, etc. He also began to discuss nursing home care. Susan had stated some time ago that she definitely didn't want to go into Britthaven, there on 119. Wanda and Sherrie know the owner/administrator of a facility in London that would be better care and environment than what is at Britthaven. No decision has been made yet unless it was done today.
So that's what we know today. There may be more to come later after Pete gets the latest from Susan's girls.
