Mom is back in the hospital here in KY. I flew here on the 12th I took her to her doc appt on the 13th and he admitted her to the hospital that day. She is extremely dehydrated and looked awful. Sunken eyes and so weak. She had not had anything to eat or drink for 24 hours. Not because it wasn't offered or available but because she just didn't want anything. I had been up since 5:30am yesterday morning till around 10p last night. I was driving back to the hotel from the hospital (2 hr trip) and I almost went to sleep at the wheel. I usually can do that with no problems but this time I was just so exhausted. I still am.

Keep her in your prayers. I know she will most likely go home tomorrow. She was just being admitted for fluids and for observation. She was throwing up alot and couldn't keep anything down. She had a bowel resection two weeks ago yesterday. So they did some xrays to see if anything is wrong there. I am assuming all is fine since I did not get a phone call last night.

I just talked with her and she is doing much better but still unable to keep anything on her stomach. They are giving her Plasma today to help build her up faster. I am VERY concerned that her bladder is not emptying like it should. She has gotten several bags of fluid and hasn't emptied her bladder enough. We know her bladder was bruised from the bowel resection and that could possible be the culprit but still. SIGH!!

Did I mention I am exhausted?

i am sorry your mom is not feeling well. i will be praying for you both

im thinking of you both

im sorry your moms not well

((((HUGS)))) for you and your mom Penni. I hope that she feels better soon!

Just wanted to let you guys know that Mom went home today and is feeling much better. She has color in her cheeks and her lips are pink instead of white. She is also sassy again which means she is MUCH better. LOL!!!

I got her some Boost, Slim Fast, Pears, Apples, Bananas, Whole Wheat cereal, and some Yogurt to last for at least 5 days. My stepfather is a huge help to her but neither like to cook much. So she has been living off KFC mashed potatoes since her surgery. (two weeks ago). No wonder she got dehydrated. She is all better now.

Thank you for all your prayers and support. IT meant alot to me and to my mom.

I will keep you updated as needed.

Thanks for the update, I am glad that she is back to being sassy. Get some rest and take care of yourself, I know that the last fews days have taken a toll on you, your concern for your mom really shows in your post. (((Hugs))) Please tell mom that we are all still thinking of her and sending prayers her way. ~Mandy
