My mother-in-law, Iris Weis, came close to death yesterday when for some unknown reason her blood pressure dropped almost to zero. It might have been because of a change in medication. The doctors were able to get her on an external pace-maker that was inserted through one of her arteries. She stabilized and got much better. The doctor also reported to the family (not to Iris) that she had a minor stroke that has affected her right side. I'm not sure when she may have had the stroke. He believes that with physical therapy she should recover complete use of her arm and leg. Last Thursday evening, I believe, after several days with a tube in a throat the respirator was removed and Iris could talk again. She really hated that part of the recovery. Thank you for your concern for her.
