just once i want some normalcy, just once...
Mom's back in the hospital again. She had a knee replacement done last friday and has been in a rehab for almost a week. She has breathing problems to begin with, so they're supposed to be keeping a close eye on her in there. They haven't been giving her medications on time and last night they called my sister and me at 3 am saying they had called 911 because she got up to go to the bathroom and ended up not being able to breathe. The hospital originally thought she had a big clot in her lung, but test results showed she has severe pneumonia. How does a place that's regularly checking her breathing not catch that? sigh. So, they have her on IV meds and a vent until tomorrow, but hopefully she'll be ok. It's one thing after another.
