Mom in Hospital... [View all]
I'm not very good with stuff like this, and I don't want to make it worse by getting all weepy and freaked out. On another level, she's been saying for a year at least that she really wants to go. She's done and misses her family that are all on the other side...though she also admits she can only talk to me about this, because my sister is not open to it.
My older sister is the "manager" and is good at handling the sketchy stuff. My dad is pretty far gone mentally, though he knows what's up he's probably not registering the gravity of the situation, or he's in denial too.
I'm over a mountain about 45 mins away, but she's also not coherent. Her LOC is probably about a 1, she's not answering questions and not aware what day it is etc.
I need to wait till tomorrow when there's more answers.
She's had a few strokes, but usually has only affected speech and she recovers in a few days. She's never lost consciousness like this. She was sick all day yesterday and my dad made it sound like a tummy bug...so she got severely dehydrated and my sister came over this morning to gather her up and take her to the ER, but that time she was out of it.
No bleeds... CT shows nothing ...she's also severely anemic so they are gonna give her an infusion.
Meanwhile all they can do is push fluids thru the nite and I have just gotta calm down and let her decide how she wants to handle this...she's a fighter but I also know she just might see this as her chance to exit.
