Wednesday
The treatment that had been planned for Lynn today did not take place - The way things sound, the specialists in charge decided that, since her heart rate responded to drug therapy, it was reasonable to assume that some mix of drugs could be developed that she could take in pill form would also fix the heart rate problem. And so, she did not have to go through the electro-shock therapy today. Instead, she went on a three drug therapy that is supposed to fix the issue of the rapid heart rate. We had sort of mixed feelings about that...on one hand, no one wants to go through the eletroshock treatment...but if it worked, she would be done, and could go right home. The drug therapy determination means that she will have to be in the hospital much longer. It simply takes longer to figure out the right mix that will work for her. And, the trouble is, she feels really great right not, not at all ill, and would really like to get out and go home. However, today she got the word that she will have to spend at least 2 more days there, maybe more, and, despite the fact that she has a corner suite and finally has a view of something other than roof-top air handling units, time does indeed drag on for her.
