I have bad news this morning. I received a call this morning around 5:30 from the hospital. They had to put Mom back on the ventilator and off I went to the hospital. From what I know right now she got into distrss again and was watched closely. She was sweating but was cold and clammy. Her respiratory therapist last night is the same one who was there when it happened before and said she recognized her struggling. I understand that the house doctor was in the room with her. They did some emergency labs and sent them to Kishwaukee Hospital. She had 2 blood gases by 7:00 this morning and they were back to normal. When she was suctioned they got tube feeding, so that might of been in her lungs. The tube feeding has been stopped and taken out of her room already. They had already done a chest xray. The doctor had called to check on her around 6:30. She looks absolutely exhausted even though they said how much better she looked. She did open her eyes and look at me once. It is nice everyone comes by to check on her and make sure I am ok or if I need anything. Her RT told me in her opinion she might continue to have problems as long as she has the NG tube in her nose, that they see that alot. She was off the ventilator for almost 3 weeks this time! And here we are again. So I guess I will see what happens today. Keep those prayers coming.
Bunches of Love,
Angela
