Exploring the Why!?!
Mom did not sleep very well last night and the nurses are having trouble with her IV's in her left arm. They are exploring other solutions. The MRI did not give the doctors any information. Dr. Tang has ordered an Angiogram with the hopes that the results will give us some information as to why!?! They are looking for an Aneurysm. (abnormal bulge in the wall of an artery.) Mom will need to be sedated for this procedure and it is scheduled for early this afternoon. The procedure will take place at Alta Bates so there will be no ambulance ride for her today. The whole Angiogram process will take most of the afternoon. The earliest we will have any information will be this evening and it maybe tomorrow morning.

Mom!! Hang in there. I can't wait to see you on Thursday.
Hi Jules,
A quick note to let you know we are all praying for you. I just talked to Caitlin who asked me to let you know that you have been on her mind and in her prayers since Saturday when Mary Ellen called her to tell her about your condition. Caitlin has been sort of incommunicado, the office was moving since last Wednesday or so, and her computer and blackberry were down, so she has been unable to send you a note. She sends her love and caring and best wishes your way. I'm sure she will send her own note once her computer is hooked up again.
I keep reading the blog to see when you can have visitors. I don't want to get in the way but I'd love to see you. Can you have candy? flowers? good coffee? Anything you'd like, let me know.
Much love,
Estelle
Julia, hallelujah you are scaffold free at last! Just thought you'd enjoy knowing that your home awaits you with a beautiful bright exterior paint job especially made enjoyable by the removal of all of the scaffolding! Even if the courtyard does look like an experiment in minimalist landscaping sans palm trees and other plants, you can enjoy blue sky.
Hope the angiogram was not too painful or uncomfortable. I'm sure the 5855 Bucci's collective will be seeing you soon. What's up with ordering dinner from Whole Foods?:)
Cheerio, Cindy
