In hospital again

Peg has been admitted to the hospital again.

Judy called me last night the 29th shortly before 8:00 P.M. She was shot of breath clammy bad color and chest pain.

The long and short is a minor congestive heart failure indicated by elevated enzymes of some sort. Cardiologist saw her this morning and indicated that her heart was not pumping efficiently and fluid was backing up and draing to her lungs. They have her on a diuretic lasix to get rid of the fluid and she is now stabilized with better color and comfortable.

Gloria came down to help explain as best she knew and the nursing staff has been helpful as in the past.

No room upstairs as of noon so still in holding room down in emergency.

So that is briefly the situation now will try to contact again later. No room phone right now but have her cell and mine

Love
Jay
