4/6/13 Taiwan update on Mom

Hi family and Friends,

I interviewed Joe on Face Time again just now.
Mom is stable today but still needs to wear the big mask for oxygen.
Her condition is unpredictable so Joe said he is always 提心吊膽 .It seems in the morning hours Mom's heart beat raises ,like this morning it was up to 170-180, but while I was talking to Joe it was down to 123. Mom is not breathing heavily which is a good thing. But Joe said 媽媽很痛苦.

The doctor is giving injection to help Mom pass urine, she is passing about 1500cc but not enough. They have changed to another antibiotic to take care of the toxin in the blood. Her stomach is smaller. Her blood sugar is around 300-400, and was given insulin injection.

Phoebe will go to the hospital tomorrow, Stephen has returned to Shanghai but will go back to Taiwan next Tuesday.

I saw Mom via Face Time, but she was sleeping.

This is all for now, I will Face Time Joe next Monday (Taipei time) before he will return to Japan for a well deserved rest..

Love,
Alice
