Mom is back in the hospital again :(
Edited on Sun Dec-28-08 09:33 PM by SalmonChantedEvening
An infection and low blood pressure is what the tests revealed. She'd be sleepy and unable to stay awake all morning, so around 2:30 the family doctor said to take her in for tests.

She should be home for New Years, but if it's by the end of the week that's fine, her being herself again is all that matters.

1. My dear SalmonChantedEvening...
I'm sorry to hear that she's ill...

But since she is, the hospital is the place to keep a sharp eye on her...

Here's to her getting well very quickly, sweetie!

Major vibes to her, and you...:hug:

She just needs to stay hydrated, and the heat can't be up too high.

Egads, when did I become Marcus Welby? ;)

She seems to be in good spirits, and resting well. I didn't have a chance to see her today, work was a mad house. In other words, normal ;)

16. I'm so sorry, SCE.
I hope she feels better soon.

My mom, 89, is having a lot of health problems too
right now.

It's very hard, all around.

22. She's in a room and out of ICU
Which means her BP has stabilized, and now they're monitoring her infection and it's effect on the rest of her system.

I'll know more once the dust settles ;)

31. Here's how I knew she was ok
There were no phone calls to work (they only come if some thing major happens), and my brother stopped in to work to harass me after visiting Mom. ;)

And it's quiet here now. A good sign if ever there was one. :hug:
