~My Mom's Days~

Well my mom was admitted in a private hospital on last monday at Tawakal Hospital.It was because she had some sort of heart problem.So right after class on Monday which is EAP class , I went to stay with my mom and watch over her there.I stayed with her there until Saturday.She went through several treatments which is a ECHO examination, scope, ECG, and a angiogram which is all related to the heart.An Echo is some sort of instrument that they insert through the mouth or other places to see something connecting the heart.An ECG to test the heart beat and so on.Last but not least they did an angiogram to see whether there were any blocks in my mom's heart.If there is any blocks they will blast it and replace it with something called angioplasty or do a bypass if there's too much blocks.Luckily my mom only had a small block in her heart and we found out that her real problem is her uncontrolled or poor looked after diabetic level which is causing the pain in her heart.It sort of slows down her heart beat and she also had lots of water in her lungs which causes her inability to breathe at night.The doctor was amazing and told us about my mom's medical condition in detail.Well, after all the treatment my mom is much better now and that makes me feel a whole lot better too.The doctor was also kind enough to give my mom one week leave and a letter for light work because of her heart condition.Since my mom works as a police officer, her work is really hectic and tiring so luckily the doctor gave her that letter.She has an appointment with the doctor this week on Friday for her regular check-up.Well that's all for now.
