She's home and glad to be there.

She said they found a tear in her esophagus which probably was causing most of the bleeding. They put her on Prilosec and said to eat soft food for a few days and that should heal.

She has a bacterial infection so she is on a strong antibiotic.

And her hiatal hernia is laying on her diaphragm. She will have to deal with that when she is stronger.

So...she is one big sickie! Poor baby. But she sounds better than she did 3 days ago. Is that sort of like saying, "but you look good"!

She is able to talk more than 5 minutes now without being totally out of breath so that is an improvement.

She promised me she would follow doctor's orders and stay in bed for at least 3 days!
