Saturday Evening
Lynn had a follow-up a few days ago with Dr. Jordan. He was quite pleased with the status of her heart. Her blood pressure was very low, but he said that it was exactly where he wanted it. At that point, Lynn was concerned that she was picking up a bit of a cold. His response was "I don't do colds!" I think he was kidding, but you can never tell. Anyway, a few days went by, and she started picking up a non-productive cough that got worse and worse. It got to the point that she was unable to lie down in bed and had to sleep on the recliner sofa. She said that she felt she had to cough, and that there was stuff down there that she wanted to get out, but that it would not work for her. She didn't have a fever or anything like that, but she definitely felt that something was not quite right.
Things came to a head last night - she simply could not stop coughing, and was up most of the night. I managed to convince her to call her personal doctor, Dr. Conaway, and ask him if he could come up with something to help her out. He called back, heard what she had to say, and was convinced that she has some sort of infection. He arranged to get an inhaler for her that would help get the congestion broken up, so she could get her lungs clear. I also went out and got her an old-fashioned vapo-rub steam machine, which we'll run all night long for her. Hopefully that will help as well.
