My mother-in-law, Iris Weis, had a very serious set-back on Labor Day. Apparently she suffered a second heart attack leaving the top part of her heart beating out of sync with the bottom part. Her kidneys also stopped working. The basic problem probably stemmed from the fact that she was very dehydrated. You wouldn't think a person could get dehydrated while being cared for in a hospital, but she did. For some time now she has not wanted to eat much or drink enough liquids. The dehydration affected the kidneys which in turn put a strain on the heart. She is now in intensive care of the Fresno Community Hospital. She was moved from the physical rehabilitation area. Medication got her kidneys to function again, however the doctors still need to get her kidneys to work on their own without medication. They will also be working to get her heart to beat in sync again. She is getting plenty of fluids intravenously. Her condition now is stable.
Thank you for your love and concern!
