Before we left our home to run errands, Claude got a phone call from his brother, Cordell. It seems his mother went for a doctor visit the other day. The doctor put a monitor on her to watch her heart. The doctor can read the results of the monitor from a remote location. He learned that two times last night Bonnie's heart stopped working. He told her to get to the hospital immediately, they were going to put in a pacemaker. Kalli, a granddaughter, drove her to the hospital.
Claude continued to get updates via text from his brother. She went into surgery and it was expected it would take four hours.
Then the text came that she was out of surgery and did very well. The doctor was pleased.
Bonnie will stay in the hospital tonight and go home tomorrow. The pacemaker will only work when her heart needs a boost. So that was all good news.
The next bad news was that her lungs don't look good. No definite term for the diagnosis but the lungs are not a flexible as they should be. Probably all has to do with them aging. Good grief.
The doctor also told her she was not to drive for the next week. She assured her kids she would not tell them where her keys were to her car. Cordell said he knew they were in her car and they would just take them.
We are relieved that for this time Bonnie is okay. Julie, Cordell's wife, says we can now call her 'The Energizer Bonnie".
