That's something that I learned yesterday afternoon. It was a rough day at the hospital. My mom didn't have a blood pressure for about 3 hours and they couldn't figure out what was wrong. Turns out she lost some blood. There was a lot of other stuff that happened too, but I'm a little foggy on that.
The day started out good. They went to put her in a chair and all hell broke loose. They finally got her stable around 8 last night. I was here by myself and called Brently about 3 to come and hang out with me. They kicked me out around 3:30 to start working on mom. The pastor showed up around 4pm and some other friends around 6pm. The doctors were in and out and kept telling me the would come and get me. I went in her room once and all kinds of stuff was going on. Dr. K took me by the arm and told me to wait outside. I was pretty antsy and went back in a little while later and saw some stuff I didn't need to see and some stuff that I won't ever be able to forget. When the doctors tell you to wait out side - wait outside!
She finally got settled down and then Jacque came up for a few hours to look at her.
Things seem to be better - but I'm not going to make any decisions on that until later. I do know that she will be in the hospital for longer than we thought. I'd rather have her here to at home right now. One of the doctor's said, "That's why we do this here and you don't do it at home." I guess that makes sense to me.
Well, something is beeping so I better check it out.
Until later...
