they don’t have any good baseline for my mom’s EKG, and they can’t do the normal evaluative processes in her current state. they are going to try a beta blocker along with a different course of anesthetics, and see if that works for a potential surgery tomorrow. they just put my mom out, so she can get some sleep. if this doesn’t work tomorrow, they will probably end up having to do the surgery under local anesthesia, which is not a gool prospect, at all.
