I'm trying not to freak out.
The report is that she's having a pretty good day (so far)--the same as yesterday. Breathing ok (with oxygen treatment), responsive, and eating a little.
One hour, one minute at a time, I guess.

(2,287 posts)give her lots of vitamins A & D, and some form of elderberry (comes in syrup, tablets, and effervescent tablets). It works for me, and I am 76.

(26,039 posts)Sounds good, but don't get complacent, these things can change quickly. Hopefully the only change your mom sees is positive.

(39,620 posts)We were sure that we were going to lose her... she was struggling to breathe.
She rebounded a bit yesterday, and today she is much the same.
The activities director at the nursing home schedules face-time once a week for the residents, but we will get to see and speak w/ her again on Tuesday.

(43,242 posts)You're scared but doing the best you can for her.
Please keep your spirits up.
Your love and light for her shines through.
Love while you can. Cry when you have to.
You've got people supporting you.

May your mother recover as fully as my Sister-in-law did.

(11,005 posts)And you are right. One hour at a time, one minute at a time, just do what you can do. And definitely allow yourself time to just sit and fall apart if you need to. It helps to get that out. I've had a lot of experience.
We are all here for you.
