Yesterday during Mom's appointment with her GP, he said that her left lung sounded muffled which indicates a fluid buildup behind her lung.  Today they went the the heart specialists office and met with his PA.  She heard the same thing and ordered several tests to be done, one of them being an echocardiogram.  The next appointment with the heart specialist is November 8.  Hopefully, she will be able to have those tests completed by then.

Colorado is experiencing record breaking warm weather, so Mom was able to sit outside and watch the dogs play.

Mom had 2.7 liters of fluid withdrawn today.  That sounds like bad news, but there is a positive side to the story.  The gastrologist is going to have the fluid tested to determine if the fluid buildup is because of her heart or her liver.    Maybe now we will finally get some answers.

Mom saw her gastrologist yesterday.  She had blood drawn and is waiting for lab results before having more fluid drained.

She was happy to tell me that she has had several good days in a row and wanted to make sure that I included that in her blog.

They are waiting for a guy to come and prepare the ground where the motor home will send the winter.

When I spoke with Mom and Dad today, they were relaxing in the backyard enjoying the warm afternoon.

Dad is busy getting the coach winterized.   It's a new experience for him since in the 18 years they've had it, it's the first time they won't be staying in it full time.  

There isn't much else to report, which I guess is good news.

I spoke with Dad very briefly this afternoon.  He said that they are getting settled down and into a good schedule at Michelle's.  He thinks that Mom has gotten a bit stronger over the past few days.  Never underestimate the healing power of dogs and grandchildren!  They are in the process of setting up appointments with several specialists..

Dad is hoping that it doesn't snow tonight, Mom is doing a snow dance!

It was a busy weekend moving in and organizing.  Connor made the trek from Grand Junction to surprise Mom and Dad.  Sunday afternoon was spent at Meredith's watching the Broncos win.

Dish Network came today to get Mom and Dad's tv situation worked out.  Mom also had an appointment with Dr.  Hunnicutt, her general practitioner.  He has ordered all of her test results from Yuma and requested that she see another heart specialist..
