Mom is back in the Hospital again

Hi everyone,

I had to bring Mom into the hospital on Thursday. She was going down hill for about a good week or so. Every time I would even mention the word hospital she would throw a fit. So I just kept trying to care for her at home not realizing she was getting worse and worse. I know I have talked about how she sufffers with Congestive heart failure well she started all the symptoms of it again took her to her PCP 10 days ago who just uped her diuretic dosage. What I didn't realize is I should of been in touch with her Cardio Dr instead of her PCP or talked with both. Well, the increase dosage of Lasix was shutting down her Kidneys. So now she is in the hospital with Heart failure, Kidney failure and Liver disease. She has so much going aganist her right now that she is in for the fight of her life. She is so frail now I am not sure if she will have the fight like she had so many other times. I think at this point all I want is what is best for her. I know there is a plan for her and I feel whatever that plan is It needs to happen soon. She is suffering way to much now. It breaks my heart and my poor dad's heart to see her like this.
I just wanted to post and let everyone know. Although I did not post here alot because I was so busy taking care of mom most nights. I did read each and everyones post and learned so much about everyone here that I feel we are all family.

Love Pauline

Re: Mom is back in the Hospital again

I pray for the best for you and your Mom. I know you have invested so much into your Mom's care but we are not miracle workers. As you said, there is a plan. She has fought so long and so hard that all we can pray for is what is best for her. So that is my prayer. Know we are holding on to your towels and have you firmly wrapped in them as well.

Love, deb

Re: Mom is back in the Hospital again

Oh Pauline,
I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom. I hope that there is something that can be done, but then you wonder if there isn't something else that god has planned for her.

I will keep her and your family in my prayers. But I'll pray that god decide to do whatever he feels is best because that seems to be all we can hope for.
We are all holding tight to our end of your towel, so don't let go dear....
