Mom is back in Hospital

[Penni60 45]

Mom is back in the hospital here in KY. I flew here on the 12th I took her to her doc appt on the 13th and he admitted her to the hospital that day. She is extremely dehydrated and looked awful. Sunken eyes and so weak. She had not had anything to eat or drink for 24 hours. Not because it wasn't offered or available but because she just didn't want anything. I had been up since 5:30am yesterday morning till around 10p last night. I was driving back to the hotel from the hospital (2 hr trip) and I almost went to sleep at the wheel. I usually can do that with no problems but this time I was just so exhausted. I still am.

Keep her in your prayers. I know she will most likely go home tomorrow. She was just being admitted for fluids and for observation. She was throwing up alot and couldn't keep anything down. She had a bowel resection two weeks ago yesterday. So they did some xrays to see if anything is wrong there. I am assuming all is fine since I did not get a phone call last night.

I just talked with her and she is doing much better but still unable to keep anything on her stomach. They are giving her Plasma today to help build her up faster. I am VERY concerned that her bladder is not emptying like it should. She has gotten several bags of Fluid and hasn't emptied her bladder enough. We know her bladder was bruised from the bowel resection and that could possible be the culprit but still. SIGH!!

Did I mention I am exhausted?

Awwwww Penni, my thoughts and prayers are with you. I know how hard it is to go though this with parents. Please take care of yourself too, she is going to need you rested up! Hugs!

I'm so sorry Penni.

Do you think it might be colon related? When I had colitis I didn't want to eat cause I didn't want to feel the pain of it coming out.

I sure hope it all gets better. She's been through so much and you too.

Get some sleep and take care of yourself.

Saying prayers for both of you.

Gosh Penni - had you on my mind the last couple of days, thinking you were inhaling the new G-baby. So sorry to hear you were dealing with other, not so good, things.

((hugs))

Well I did get to do that today for about an hour. I got there just in time to finish feeding him and rock him to sleep and then held him for awhile. Felt devine.

Christina I will call you in a day or two. THanks for the offer.

You guys are the greatest. I am overwhelmed by all the prayers, white lights and etc being sent our way.

I have to admit I am being very bad with my diet and exercise. But I can't do much about it right now. I am just so tired.

Best wishes for you mom.
