Just letting you know

I have not been to the hospital yet, but have spoken to the doctor. We will be staying for a few more days. Mom's temp went from 100.2 yesterday to 100.6 today. They have started her on 2 IV antibiotics. So with that and her blood pressure problem tomorrow, she is staying for at least a few more days. The doctor said if they sent her like this, she would just end up in the hospital down there.

I also discussed having a CAT scan. She said if she was having more mini strokes it would not change how they treated her, but I told her it might change what we wanted to do. So, she will be getting a scan today.

Coming Home?

I was told today that Mom might get to move tomorrow. They are not sure though. Her blood pressure went down to 59/33 this morning, but was doing better during the day. She is also running a low fever. She will be going to Maple Ridge in Lincoln, they have officially accepted her as a patient.

Mom has done nothing for 4 days but sleep and I am worried about her. It is normal to get tired and worn out when they wean someone because they really are doing alot of work. This is more than sleepy. She is just plain out of it. I asked today for a cat scan. I am worried she has had another stroke or some small ones. So I don't know what is going on. They were doing some blood and urine tests on her this evening to check out why she might be having the temp. They were also going to do a sputum culture.

I went ahead and paid for my motel for Friday night. I will see what tomorrow holds. I want to come home and get Mom closer to home. I think it would be so good for her to see someone else besides me.
