Mom's heart is failing fast - Send prayers

No good news. At 11:00 last night (Saturday), Mom was doing pretty good - her BP was around normal for her. They gave her her night meds, which included a new anti-biotic, Lortab, Ambien, and Amapriptilene (don't hold me to the spelling). A few minutes later, she decided to try laying on her stomach to relieve the sharp pain between her shoulder blades. When she did that, her BP seemed to drop, so she rolled back onto her back but her BP took another nose dive. A couple of minutes later, it was down to 60/30, her o2 saturation fell to under 40, her heart rate slowed to 20 beats per minute and she lost consciousness. At that point, nurses came out of the woodwork! There were probably 8 of them in the room trying to help her. They moved her to ICU to try to help her. After a few hours in ICU, without improvement, they sent her by ambulance to a bigger hospital - the one she was in for heart surgery. At this point, the doctors say her heart is failing. She is sedated and they are trying to relieve the pressure from the fluids, while trying to rehydrate her. I will continue to post as updates become available.
