Every time my phone rings and it's a 309 area code, my heart skips a beat.
Today's update is that after a brief period of awareness (she could even answer questions) on Sunday, Mom is not really getting worse but she's also not getting better. She's been in the hospital 3 weeks now with pretty much no change for the better. She's still got the NG tube (soon to be a G-tube), is on dialysis, still has an infection, had a stroke, has pneumonia and is needing transfusions a couple of times a week. She spends most of her time sleeping and unaware.
I've been to see her once in Peoria. I need to be able to go see her more if anyone could help.
Edit:
You don't have to be a jerk but you also don't have to follow me, ya know? Ever since my mom's heart surgery its just been one thing after another. My heart failure, 2 heart attacks, triple bypass. My mom's cancer and surgery for that. Being homeless for all that time and now my mom is pretty much dying. I don't need anyone's snide remarks or snarkyass bullshit right now.
