I missed Margaret's specialist again yesterday as he came in before lunch. He did, however, leave a message for me. Margaret's tests have shown that the heart attack was very mild and that there is only minor damage to the heart. The main problem, as he identified last Saturday, is to come up with a medication regime which will thin her blood, prevent fluid build up and not make her kidneys worse.
She will probably be transferred to a normal ward today and he will be modifying her medications over the next few days to enable her to come home sometime next week. Being in a normal ward will enable me to visit more easily as I wont be chucked our for two hours at midday.
Tomorrow I will pick up Helen at Brisbane Airport at 9.00 am and we should be at the hospital by 11 am.
