Yesterday, Tuesday, April 1, 2008, I received a call from my sister. "Your mother is in hospital emergency department. We can not give legs to run for her. We have here every now and want you to know." Boy, my heart sink.
I asked Nancy, my sister-in to explain what happened. It seems that my mother, Martha Kerns, began to tremble and cooling times Monday afternoon. He decided to go to sleep. At noon, she refused food forWheels lunch. The minister, eat meals on wheels, reports that the Lutheran Manor Office, Ms. Kerns refused their meal brings. Debbie, the Resident Manager of the mother entered the room at times during the afternoon and found her in bed. Debbie asked the mother if she would like to ask Debbie, Nancy and Jim, or even call in the team. Debbie told her mother that did not look good.
My mother is so stubborn! He rejected any kind of assistance. "I'll be OK. All I need is sleep. Nancy and JimI get up at 3:30 go to work clock. Not called. "So Debbie left with a sinking feeling in his heart.
Mom stayed all afternoon and when he awoke, he could not move my legs. He had to go to the bathroom. The poor had to overcome in his bed, the phone was not near her and removed the 5 foot cable draped over his chest.
Debbie arrived early the next morning door opened Mama Mama Mama went to check and found lying in a mess. He helped his motherdown and then called Nancy's cell phone. Nancy was in the library have been, and was the way to get mom for her medical examination.
For the mother had to go to the hospital, Nancy and her mother a "debate" on the call to the team. Mama refused to go to the hospital, refused to leave their apartment, etc., when Nancy was still with her, her mother said it would not leave until she had her house cleaned. I do not blame her at all. Nancy took a towel and put it behind mom and began the longMethods for cleaning mom, always clean clothes on her and helped her on the chair beside the bed. Nancy removed all beds and put everything in a bag.
Mother in hospital ER Sisters tried in vain to reach on foot. Mother's legs to keep them. She continued to sink to the ankles. He might break the femur, the mother was in bed with a note on their ranking position, do not go to her. After many trials that she has a serious kidney diseaseInfection.
Living in Columbus, OH, and my mom lives in Bellefontaine, OH provokes a sense of frustration when an emergency occurs. My husband and I had to make five points on the agenda today, and calls made. Here is our agenda:
Before Approximately $ 6,000 worth of drugs at home have been received by us, at some point during the day.
According We had planned to eat with our high-level group from the church. This is our monthly meeting.
Our third car had to be reported toconcession contract with the same problem where they live only 3 days were repaired.
My husband is a fourth annual heart check-up was at 10.30 clock at Ohio State University Heart Hospital.
Our fifth grandchild need for them in the afternoon, time to be taken.
The sixth member of our family needed to be called before leaving for our Bellefontaine, OH to care for mom.
After many phone calls, we have someone who does not find most of the above list. My neighbor, who watches threeChildren, in addition to his son, decided to look out for my medicine and take it home.,
Upon arrival at Mary Rutan Hospital, we were escorted to a room mother. When we entered the room of my mother, my husband did not recognize. His face was so swollen, red and blotchy and one side of his face seemed to rest on her pillow. Since she slept. sister woke up. If she was awake, she could refuse his left eye a bit 'open with his right eye open. After what seemedopened an eternity, his left eye.
For some reason, during our visit, I pulled back the sheet and I saw a large area on the back, her calf was infected. It 'was also the right leg from the knee down, so swollen and red runs with two red stripes on their inner and outer thighs. It 'was a big gray area that the calf's mother seemed to have dried up. I called the nurse in the room and asked them to check on the mother's leg. After his examination, he called the doctorCheck On It After inspecting the calf, told us that his mother had a calf ulcerated. Since the mother had a lot of Cyprus for their kidneys and other powerful antibiotics has always been something else going on with you, the doctor felt that these two drugs would take care of this ulceration.
Today (Wednesday, 2 April), they will be tested for a blood clot in the leg. The results were: two found blood clots in the veins. This is the descending vein, so that the doctor does not seem too worriedon the formation of blood clots. He recommended that we put a screen in the vein, after we receive the item deleted ulcer on his calf.
After a while, 'my mother looked at me and said, "What about my mattress?" I told Jim and Nancy, threw him out. We should buy a mattress and new bedding.
My sister and nephew came to watch 6 and remained there until after 20:00 clock should have my sister in Virginia and called to tell her mother.
Back on the roadand back to Bellefontaine, OH, until we know, Mom, and then every two days. The time spent in the car is out of danger Please tell me, especially for recovering mother.
One never leaves his mother alone. We still believe in family ownership.
