Hi all,
I haven't been on my computer for about 8 days. My mom had to be rushed to the hospital.She is finally home as of yesterday.
As most of you know she has COPD. She was having respitory distress and i called 911. While in the hospital they said she was having kidney failure. They called in a kidney specialist and her test was negetive. Then she was having heaviness in her chest and irregular heart beat. They did an ekg and i really don't know if they saw anything. Alot of medicines now . she is weak before she went to the hospital and is even weaker now. She has a nodule on her lung that we never got checked due to her hospital emergency. I am hanging in there and don't expect any miracles to happen. Her nurse is going to see if her doctor will have hopice have a visit with us on what they can do for her and me. But i know she will not have them. She is weaning off the prednisone, and the antibiotic will be finished soon. When she finishes the pred. it won't be long till she get's sick again. This has been a pattern for her.
The nurse that comes to the house will find out facts for me. Like why is she on antibiotic, what's the infection. And get the med's straightened out.
One night in the hospital we hired a private nurse for her. She was great and made mom feel secure. To many mistakes were happening between wrong medicine, and then her by-pap machine was hooked up without her wearing the face mask, and no oxygen was connected. That was why i had the private nurse for one night.
I was making two trips a day to the hospital,come home sleep,then go back to feed her that nasty food. She is on a cardiac diet.
Me and my fianc'e would go out for dinner then come home and rest for the same pattern the next day.
Thank you all for listening to my story. That is why i haven't been on the site and for the first time tonight I found 60 e-mails and only answered a few. One was Karol, seems like her and I are going threw the same with our mom's.
Love, florie
