Mom update: after steadily declining for a week, her appt with cardiologist began as a mystery- no longer in heart failure, heart rate much better. But, she was lethargic, couldnt stand, had double vision, lost 7 pounds. The suspect-Digoxin-used to control heart rate. Another blood test revealed this drug was toxic to her body. So out with this med. she is in a rehabilitation hospital (2days now) and making great progress. Her Afib might return, but that is better than being poisoned by a drug. Her goal is to being to walk without assistance and get back to quilting and cooking and enjoying life. I think shes going to make it!
