Last thursday my mom broke her leg and I took her to the hospital where she was admitted for surgery due to the severety of the break. Friday we were told no surgery due to the swelling and saturday found out she was in DT's. Sunday Mom was having a really hard time and was having labored breathing. At 4 am monday she asperated and she was taken to CCU and intubated. Her amonia is really high and her potassium is really low. Tuesday mom had surgery on her leg while still on the vent as the risk of having to intubate was no longer a barrier for surgery and the pro's outweighed the cons. Yesterday we removed the ventilator and she is maintaining her own breathing again. She is still in dt's and very discombobulated. We are giving her nutrition only in iv due to the risks of asperating again. So today we are on day 7 of dt's in it feels like there is no end in sight. How much longer until her hellucinations stop? I found a half gallon under her kitchen sink with only a few shots left and I must mention she has Lupus, RA, sjogren's, fiber mialsia, osteoperosis, copd, and some others I cant think of right now. I just want my mom back and to know she knows I'm here with her.
