She thought it was another bleeding ulcer like the past. They got her back right away which was lucky! There were only like 2 other people in the ER waiting room it seemed. So glad she got to go back so quickly! They did a CT abdomen but it showed nothing. They admitted her because she had a positive hemocult. Day two they did an endoscopy and while doing that procedure, Mom aspirated in her lungs and they called it aspiration pneumonia. She hadn't eaten for 2 days , just liquid diet and they found a ton of food in her stomach just sitting there. It had no where to escape cause they found that there was scar tissue covering where the food should go to get digested. A total mess! They also found a fold somewhere and unfolded and stretched it and Mom now feels a whole lot better! Every time the digestive Dr. comes in with Mom , I am there. :) So, he was telling me all this. She just got moved up to the oncology floor (6th floor) and is doing so much better. The bleeding has stopped but she still has a really bad headache( migraines) and " kicky legs". She said the nebulizer tx that they give her causes her legs to kick and be restless. We asked the Dr. to give her something for headaches that won't cause bleeding. We shall see! There is also an outside catheter they are using for Mom so she doesn't have to get up to pee every time she has to go. I said, we need that for Tam! It is pretty cool! It is like a pad that sucks up the urine. I brought her broccoli cheddar soup from Panera. She loved it and said it tasted so good. Dad was savage and parked in the valet parking without being a valet. :) We were laughing hard about that. Here is to hoping Mom is on the mend and may get to go home soon!! Our kids are on spring break this week and have gone to visit Grandma every day in the hospital. They pray every night for her not to die. :) Here are a few pics that I took from the last few days.
