Two weeks ago today I received a phone call from my mom saying she wasn't feeling well and was going to an urgent care facility in Virginia where she was visiting my sister and brother. About an hour later she called and said they were transferring her to the hospital because her lab values were off (mostly all of them). About an hour after that I received a call from a doctor in the ICU asking about advanced directives. 🤔
I told him to ask her and he said "she is not responsive" OH, my I said, I just spoke with her. He informed me that my mom was in shock from three different angles and would likely NOT survive this. Hypovolemic shock (from a GI Bleed) septic shock (from an infection) and cardiogenic shock (from Congestive Heart Failure). She had quite a ride, but I am happy to report that I picked her up from the hospital yesterday and we arrived home in Maryland about an hour ago.
Great news ❤️
@GeezerWench Thank you. She still needs some home care, not quite her spunky self yet, but it's looking better day by day. 🙏🏽
