The chest x-ray and sinus CT results come back and Dr. Dubowski calls my mom and tells her that she needs to come into the office that day.
Probably not the best sign.
The sinus CT is normal. Nothing going on there. No surprise to mom that she doesn't have a sinus infection, since the antibiotics that are strong enough to cure a horse aren't having any effect on her cough.
It's the chest x-ray that they are concerned about. Mom's heart, big as it is already, looks gigantic on the x-ray. Instead of encompassing the space of just a portion of one lung, hers filled almost both lungs. Enlarged heart was an understatement. Plus, there may be some spots on her lungs that are a little concerning. Dr. Dubowski tells mom to go right away and have a chest CT, and puts in an order for an EKG. Off to Jordan Valley Hospital for the CT, and then home to wait for a call back on an appointment for the EKG.
