For those of you who don’t follow my blog…my mother has been in the hospital with serious health concerns. They thought she had congestive heart failure, or pneumonia, or severe bronchitis. She can’t get enough oxygen.
It has been 4 days now….and they still can’t figure out the cause of the problem. She has been through many tests and still they are trying to narrow it down.
She has very high pressure in her lungs. They need to do a biopsy of her lungs…but if they do she would bleed to death in seconds. They dont think it is congestive heart failure, nor pneumonia or bronchitis now. But they don’t know what. She can’t breathe without the oxygen. She could have a stroke or heart attack from this.
My dad is beside himself. My sisters are taking turns being down there to get information and lend support. I was down there…but then i got sick and bannished myself from the hospital. But, I want my mom ( I know that sounds childish); but, i need to be down there to help support my family. I want my mom home ,safe and healthy. But, I can’t be there without opening them up to this sickness. All that i can do is pray and ask God to keep her safe.
I just got back from the doctor and now my blood pressure is sky high…he wanted to put me on medication. I also have a sinus infection so i am going to start antibiotics…hopefully, then i can go down to the hospital tomorrow…so that i don’t make anyone else sick. Today mom is going to have a heart catherization. I am praying big time that they can figure this out.
I hate not being there.
Hello,
I appreciate how it must feel to have a medical crisis in the family, especially when doctors are unsure of what the problem is…
Your post reminded me of what i & my family went through over 4 years ago when my mom was in the hopital.
They did heart catherization several times on her…
Finally after a long stay in hopital she was taken to a Hopice, Doctors didn’t know what else to do for her.
My heart felt best wishes to you and the family.
Hope things can turn around for the better soon.
Love,
Talia*
