As some of you know my mom was again at the hospital this morning. The nurse I had talked to told me that this time they were keeping her for awhile to watch over her.
Well I just got a call from my step dad telling me that they are back home now. WTF?? I couldn't believe it. My mom is severly sick, they don't even know whats going on and they send her home. I was NOT impressed. My poor step dad was in tears and told me that he is scared. My mom is not doing well at all tonight. And I just hate the fact that right now he is alone. He has gone through way too much the poor guy!
They took some tests again and said that they will try their very best to get the results tomorow. In my opinion next time my mom should be in the hospital here in the city and not that stupid small town hospital because they don't even know what they are doing half the time.
I am just not getting a good feeling about this at all guys. I really hate this sick feeling I have in me and I just can't shake it off no matter how hard I try :o(
I did phone my mom but she was sleeping. I had talked to her this afternoon before they sent her home and she had a very hard time talking on the phone and we couldn't talk for long. My step dad said that she is really weak and its not looking good right now. She has also fallen into a depression which worries us more because we do not want her to give up but also understand how she is tired of all the suffering.
I am sorry to hear about your uncle. Am glad though that he is fighting it for as long as he has right now. I hope my mom comes out stronger than ever as well. I guess we just have to wait and see and pray it does. But I also don't want her to suffer anymore either know what I mean.
As for emotions draining me. No kidding! I am surprised I am still able to produce tears after all the crying I have been doing since last night.

they sent her home because there is nothing they can do and maybe that is your moms wish.Most of the elderly people i deal with who get sick want to be home or with us,not in some hospital where they are just a number and no one cares.Her family and her faith are what is going to keep her spirits up so she can beat this thing.my prayers are with you and yours..
Just to let you know..She is not old lol Just thought I would let you know that. If my mom heard you call her an elderly i think she would have strangled you LOL (She is 48) But I did know what you meant.
I just hate how they made her go twice since last night and tell her they will keep her for a few days for observation and then send her back. She was not well enough to go back and even said so herself but they sent her anyways. I told my step dad that next time something comes up that she needs medical attention to send her to the hospital here in my city. The hospital they were at they don't take their patients as seriously as here.
If you feel that she's sick and should be in, call the bigger hospital and have her taken there via ambulance if you must. Take any steps you can to ensure that you think she's getting the best treatement possible, keep your chin up, pray, and don't let any moment pass you by. Life is way too short, and things have a way of slipping by with no real way of fixing or changing them.
it's hard to trust some strangers judgement with the well being and health of a loved one. We all want our loved ones to have 24/7 care and doctors and medical staff and equipment at our loved ones disposal...and answers they never come quick enough... trust. its hard.... and prayer in these times never seem enough.... try to rest, so you can be sharp and ready when the results come in... you and your mother are in my prayers
