biopsy is tomorrow. Her lungs look like a honey comb. Transplant is the last option, and for everything I've read and asked at this point, it's generally reserved for those 60 and under. So, there will be meds and oxygen...and hope she sticks around for a little while.
On top of all this, she's also suffering from a couple of other physical medical issues, and depression, which is rather common for two of her medical issues.
So, she's on oxygen, when she went in her oxygen level was at 70, they currently have her at normal range at 93. They gave her an inhaler, which is a steroid...problem though, is she is freaked out to use it, because my father was actually addicted to his (which was not a steroid) and that is what killed him. He died on the way to the hospital, she was driving and he passed out and fell over on her on the way to the emergency room. He refused to take an ambulance.
Her house is just about an episode of hoarders...my brother and I have been doing all we can with cleaning it, and mom has turned all of her financials over to me to deal with, and now my brother is sick. At this point we have decided to hire professionals to deal with the house.
I feel like I'm sleep walking...bad dream.
I will also post my thanks to everyone here, I'm in and out, trying to take care of my own house, child etc...and all of this...I appreciate all the vibes you can muster to get us through this. Those lounge vibes are some pretty serious stuff, and I just want to say thank you for all of them. :grouphug:
