Mom is sick and has been in the hospital.

[PA_jen]

Earlier in the month I talked about my mom being in the hospital with RSV and Pneumonia. Well, I have been by my mother's side while she has been in the hospital (her local) getting worse. It was discovered she had a Staph infection which was effecting her heart and she was developing a Kidney issue.

While in the hospital they had been trying to do physical Therapy with her daily and would increasingly be more and more painful. she couldn't even get a bed bath without being so painful. I have been doing my best to be her advocate and keep the various diagnosis straight. Thursday Ortho came did x-rays on her hip and pulled fluid from her hip. Yesterday the ortho doctors came up said staph infection was in her hip and her hip replacement (which she got in 99) was failing her. She was frustrated with various Diagnosis. she sick and miserable wants to go to Allegheny. I demand she goes there.

We also have a cousin ( and her Godson) who is head of one of the departments in Allegheny General. He also thru her local Doctor has been keeping an eye on her.

Hospital is all nasty and is like well, it isn't going to be instant, and it could be 2 or 4 days before they have a bed to transfer her and Administration coming in CYA the hospital that are just chasing symptoms and not viewing and treating the whole and getting ahead of it.. I call the cousin with my mom on speaker phone. We tell him everything she has gone thru and asked his help. long story short she was being loaded into an ambulance at 10:30 pm to be taken to Pittsburgh. My sister came in from the state she lives in to give me a break. she followed the Ambulance down and has been with her since. I feel guilty being home while she's there, but everyone is saying take a break.

Today they did x-rays and the Doctor came in saying they didn't find infection in her hip. They see part of the hip is failing and preventing her from moving and walking. The primary concern is the staff infection which is not only in the heart but also effecting her kidneys.

May I please ask you to send some healing vibes my mother's way. I will be at her side at Alleghany but will need to call my work place since I originally thought she would be discharge from the hospital on the 10th.

Thank you for letting me vent.

8. Hoping like hell your dear Mom's issues are resolved.

At least the infection - because the hip can’t be dealt with until that is gone. Wishing her the very best. AND you. You must be exhausted being there for her and advocating for her while fighting snotty hospital admin. But you got her what she needs so you are a hero! Pat yourself on the back for that! You do need some time for yourself. Let your sister be there for a bit. You can’t help her best unless you take care of yourself first. Please do that. Then go back into the fray.

Wishing for a complete cure of that infection SOON.

[PA_jen]

In the Jewish tradition, you use the person's first name and their moms first name. If you're comfortable letting me know then, I'll be happy to add her to the list at our synagogue.

May the One who blessed our ancestors —

Patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,

Matriarchs Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel, and Leah —

bless and heal the one who is ill:

________________ son/daughter of ________________ .

May the Holy Blessed One

overflow with compassion upon him/her,

to restore him/her,

to heal him/her,

to strengthen him/her,

to enliven him/her.

The One will send him/her, speedily,

a complete healing —

healing of the soul and healing of the body —

along with all the ill,

among the people of Israel and all humankind,

soon,

speedily,

without delay,

and let us all say: Amen!

47. I'm sorry you, your Mom and family are going through this.

So fortunate you were able, through your Godson, to get her to Alleghany. I hope now with more attentive and acute care she will recover quickly, although it does sound as if she'll need that hip replacement updated.

All the best for a speedy and full recovery.
