On Wednesday, mom had any ECG and they found a small area on her mitral valve that could be an infection, blot clot, or small tumor. She was not experiencing any symptoms of infection, so they put her on a strong blood thinner. Yesterday she had a lower abdomen CAT Scan and there were no anomalies found. This morning they did a ECG through her esophagus and they found that the spot had disappeared. It was likely a blood clot that has been dissolved by the strong blood thinners. They are going to switch her to Coumadin and she will likely need to be on that for a day before they will release her, so there is a chance that she could come home tomorrow sometime. We still do not have a definitive answer as to what she experienced on Monday morning that started her trip to the hospital, it could have been related to her Parkinson's or it could have been a small stroke. The MRI she had done while in the hospital indicated that she had had several small strokes in the past. We would like to thank everyone for all their prayers and support this past week while mom has been in the hospital.
