Went to the clinic with Eleanor this a.m. for a visit with Dr. Froehner. When I arrived, Eleanor was light headed and felt that something was wrong. After an exam and blood draw, she was taken to the hospital for a sodium infusion and more blood work. Dr Froehner is concerned about her low white blood cell count. We used to blame the sodium imbalance on the cortisone shots, but she hasn't had one in nearly a year, so something else is causing the problem.
Thanks to Mary Ann for the note to Dr. Froehner. She gave us a prescription to start the process for the lift chair. Thanks to Barbara who talked mom back into the lift chair, as she was going to "wait for her stroke" before getting one. I am scheduled to pick Eleanor up at 2 p.m., so this is a fast update on the events of the day.
