Cindy  has lost 15 pounds since she was admitted to the hospital a couple of weeks ago.  The doctors have decided that they can wait until next Monday or Tuesday to determine if she will need a trachea.  If she doesn’t need it, that will shorten her recovery time and remove one rehab from the recovery plan.

Cindy has been jaundiced for the last few days.  The doctors decided to give her an ultrasound to see what’s going on.  Cindy has had Gall Bladder stones/sludge in the past.  The Ultrasound showed.sludge in her Gall Bladder and some stones that are not blocking any ducts.  There is no treatment plan at this time.
