Jackie - Update

I spoke with Jackie tonight. The doctors are concerned about her heart and tried to give her a stress test today, but she fainted during the test, so they couldn't complete the readings. Insulin was being given in an IV drip, but the doctors have changed to direct injection of insulin, with her readings still swinging from 7 to 22 (see previous post). Her blood pressure is staying at around 190/90 (19/9) and only comes down to 150/90 for an hour or so after medication. She sounded weak and tired. The doctors have said they're not going to release her until they find out what is going on.

Jaime had travelled to Portugal to take care of some business and is due back in England tomorrow.
