Jeff here - again.
It seems that on Monday ( Feb 25) Patti was admitted back into the hospital with sever chest pains. Tuesday morning she was transferred to Johns Hopkins, where they did an angioplasty - and discovered that she has one artery that is blocked 90-95%.
The recommendation for this is either stents - or heart bypass to bypass the blocked artery. Then today, she has developed bleeding in her GI tract. This development, led to an endoscopy looking for the source of the bleeding in the UPPER GI tract... initial discussions seem to indicate that nothing remarkable was found. This fact, logically indicates that we are looking at a lower GI issue...
This new development, of the GI bleeding, has put a hold on the solution to the bypass - because any surgery requires blood thinners - and - until they find and control the GI bleeding they have the surgery decision on hold.
Patti had and MRI of her brain last night, and again, nothing remarkable - specifically, no stroke indicated - again, good news..
I have to tell you, the care at Hopkins, is surpurb!
More updates as I learn
