Jo was able to have the IV filter put in this morning. The hip replacement was postponed due to mom having some rare antibodies in her blood. They want to have four units on hold for her surgery and only two were available. They didn't want to start late in the day after obtainign the blood and no surgical suite spacewas available until Friday morning. That will actually work out better and allowed mom to not have such a long and stressful day today. However, we were all ready for Jo to be done with the pain and discomfort. She is continuing on the Lovenox injections and will probably have a femoral block form of anesthesia. Mom's allergy to morphine has been a hurdle too. We look forward to Friday!
