Trish called and said my sister was going to take my Mom to the hospital or call 911. My Mom is in so much pain with her back. My Mom has some kind of bone disease which causes her lots of pain. She also has Alzheimer’s. So, she and my dad will be at the same hospital. I hope they can give her something for the pain.

for your mom. I hope they can control the pain. I'm really sorry both your parents are in the hospital, this is hard.

for your whole family

I'm very sorry your family is going through such a difficult time.

I am sending healing prayers and hugs for you and your family.

My mom is staying over night. She has a few issues so they are keeping her. Thanks for all your thoughts and best wishes.

I'm so sorry that your parents are both dealing with medical issues. Extra strenght for you and trish and extra hugs for Mom and Dad

Update on my Mom is that she is doing better. She had some physical therapy and eating well.

Will have more news later.

It is good to hear that your mom is improving. and for you all.
Tara

She's been grumpy and not to being a good patient yesterday. The medicine they are giving her is making her feel good, she keeps saying she wants to go home.

I'd be grumpy to if I was in the hospital, but she needs to be there to get better, and I'm sure she understands that. I'm happy she is making progress, and it'll be great when she gets to come home.

With your Mom being grumpy it is a good sign

My mom is now at the rehab facility. It's right around the corner from me. We are all going to see her later.

Doing good. She will have to Physical Therapy tomorrow.

I'm so Happy to hear your Mom is better !

How is your mom doing since going to rehab?

She was in some pain last night cause of her PT. Other then that she is doing good.

It is good to hear that your mom is doing better. We continue to pray for her full recovery.
Tara

C'mon Mom, show them what you can do in Rehab!!!!!!
Cheering for Recovery!

Thanks. She was real soar yesterday after her PT.

I hope she's doing okay. I will keep her in my prayers!!!

She is doing ok. She is having PT and is in some pain afterwards but doing better. She wants to go home, but for now she needs to get better and let her bones in her side heal.

sounds good if she wants to go home

Still Praying for you Moms Health D2P.

I contiue to keep your mom and family in my prayers. Is there any indication when she may be able to go home?
Tara

She probably will not go home, cause we can't take care of her 24/7. We will probably put her in assisted living after her rehab.

We are going to try to get my mom up to see her husband hopefully tomorrow. Patricia is trying to arrange this.

Trish just called and said my mom is very depressed. We have been slowly telling her about her husband. She will not eat.
After work, I am going to bring her a pizza. She told Patricia that is what she wants. So, we'll have a little pizza tonight. I hope my mom will eat.

I'm so sorry all of you have to go through so much sadness and worry.
D2P, Patricia hasn't been on the forum for a long time , how is she ?

How is your mom? Did she eat for you?

extra prayers for you mom today...

I'm very worried about your mom, now that your dad has passed. What a hardship for you to have to bear.

to the Neary Family

sending strenght and support for your Mom and all of you.

Patricia just like all of us are tired and need some rest. Our mom is doing ok, she took the news pretty bad, but with her demencia, she understood at first, but we did have to repeat things but she is sad like us all. We are going to try to get her out of the rehab for the funeral Tuesday.

My mom is doing well considering all that has happened. We saw her last night and she was in good spirits. We talked about dad and all the good times.

My mom is being released on May 23 from the rehab center. Now, comes the hard part, where to find a new place for her since she can't go back home, she still needs 24hr care.

Wish us good thoughts in search of a new place for my mom.

Make sure you investigate and go to the facility you are thinking of unannounced so they cannot prepare for you

good luck in your search, it can be hard.. but do surprise visits just like Beryl mentioned!!

You will find the right place for your Mom, I wish you all the best.

I'm happy your mom is doing well. Good luck finding a place for her.

I'm glad your mom is doing good. Ditto on all the above.

Still thinking about you D2P , Patricia and the rest of your family.

I hope everything goes well for your mom. Ditto the above advice.

I continue to keep your family in my prayers. I hope you find a wonderful, caring place for your mom.
Tara

She is getting stronger with her PT but her mind is going slowly. She wants to go home real bad, but she can't right now.

Not a good day yesterday for my Mom. She was weak and couldn't get out of bed. She hasn't eaten in a couple of days. She has had little bits of food, but she not eating.

I guess everything has caught up to her. She kept saying yesterday, that she wants to go home and we think home is in heaven with her husband.

I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope that she'll start eating and get stronger.

We tell her to eat and that will get her stronger and closer to going to the next step but she just holds her stomach and says she can't eat.
It was so sad yesterday to see her in this condition. She fell asleep a couple of times and I told her just to get some rest.

Patricia and my brother will be over today. Hope things are better.

I really hope she picks up soon.. rest is good... that she gets some nutrition soon

Mom is so depressed, I really think everything has hit home for her, she doesn't want to eat, get out of bed or do her therapy, all she wants to do is sleep, so today, she was dressed, out of the bed in sitting in the dining room, she ate some fruit and some of her ice cream, so, at least today she did eat a little. She wants to go home and I told her she needs to eat to get her strength back and become more stable before she can leave. She did tell me that she saw dad at the foot of her bed smiling at her. Well, Pop, you need to tell her to eat and get her fight back and get better. I wish I could see dad.

My Mom was suppose to have a feeding tube put in her stomach this morning. Patricia was there with her at the hospital.
My Mom was not happy with it, was yelling and combative and hit Patricia. This we believe is part of the dementia. The Dr talked with my Mom and she refused to have this done. She said, this is the way you treat old people....
Patricia then called my sister to pick up my Mom to take her back to rehab center. My Mom refused the ambulance.
The Dr then told Patricia that my Mom's blood work and other test shows that my Mom might have a form of leukemia. My Mom's red blood cell count was really low. The Dr said if she continues on this path of not eating, refusing to take her pills etc she won't have much longer to live.
When Patricia called me this morning and told me, I was so upset with my Mom but also sad. We are only trying to help her and she doesn't realize this. I know it's my Mom's choice and she can still make choices, but we don't want her to die.

We kids are all tired, sad and worn out with everything. We just wish my Mom would cooperate.

It is so hard to go through something like this with a loved one and I do hope you will soon be able to reason with her or someone can get guardianship of her. Praying that things will get better for all of you

Sending you prayers for all you need. I wish you all the patience, strength and comfort you need.

Tara

My mom is being released on Friday and going to be staying with Patricia. I hope it works out at Patricia's house.

Everyone, Patricia needs lots of prayers and good wishes. She is going to need lots of strength and patience while taking care of my mom. It's not going to be easy.

We will all come over to help Patricia, but it's going to be tough on my sister.

I will be thinking of all of you and sending positive thoughts and your way. Sending extra to Patricia

I will keep Patricia and you all in my prayers. I know this is not a easy situation to deal with, it is so like my aunts when my Grandmother became so ill with Alziheimers and other health problems. Good luck to you all any may God watch over you.

Patricia had to call 911 this morning. My Mom was again having the Bad D and dehydrated. The ambo took her to the hospital.
Patricia is getting so tired as we are. My Mom can't seem to recover from this infection.

Prayers for my Mom.

Hope they get this cleared up soon

It has been a rough few days and I am so tired. Yesterday was my breaking point, my mom didn't eat much breakfast and she was refusing to drink fluids, all she wanted to do was lay down, but I swear every 10 minutes she was in the bathroom, I would clean her up, walk her to the sofa and then back to the bathroom. I just could not take it any more, and its not her fault. She was so tired and breathing heavy, so I called 911 and back to the hospital, she was dehydrated and her KCl level was low which makes sense because she is losing fluid. Today, the doctor told us that the c.diff is gone but she now has a UTI, which can cause the c. diff to return, so he is starting her back on a new antibotic which should clear everything up. . She ate avout 90% of her dinner, which is wonderful. She most likely will be discharged on Monday. I'm just so tired, she would be easy to take care of if it wasn't for this infection. Wish me luck and give me strenght, I am trying so hard to take good care of her.

to you and sending positive thoughts and prayers your way.

Patricia to you and I know what she is going through with her UTI- I have had enough of them. You know to keep an eye on her for a yeast infection which antibiotics can cause. Hope things get better for both you and your mom.

Patricia and D2P, I hope the meds work. all of you are doing the best you can. Hang in there, sending prayers .

Thanks everyone, she is still in the hospital and doing much better. The doctor told us that the c.diff. is gone and her UTI is under control, she is eating very well, and its hospital food, yay!! Looks like tomorrow she will be discharged.

That's wonderful news

She is home with me now and she is doing a little better, still weak, but eating. She starts O.T. this Wednesday, trying to get her strength back and hopefully the shaking will stop soon. Oh my goodness, its so much work for me and i am just so tired, but, hopefully she will be better soon. Thanks guys.

I'm glad your mom is home with you, sending positive thoughts and ((((((HUGGS)))))) your way.

hoping all goes well and Patricia you get some well needed rest
