Update on Joyce
/Joyce’s heart is operating at 25-30%. Not certain if this is related to a heart attack, trauma of the fall, age or a combo. Concerned about the risks of the heart cath and giving it another day. Joyce is saying she doesn’t want to do it. Which case they will try to treat with medication.
