Re: My mom took a turn for the worse.
I'm so sorry you and your family are going through this!
I'm thinking of you.
your fam continues to be in my thoughts and prayers. My dad is not himself when he has his strokes, his were brought on by a brain anerism if there is anything i can do

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that things aren't going well. My heart goes out to you....I wish I could be her nurse and help!!
I'm surprised to hear that the doctors are limiting your time with her-we usually do the opposite because it tends to improve the confusion if it is indeed from strokes or from being in the hospital (I hope they've also considered this because some people do get what we call ICU psychosis.)
Danica, don't hesitate to ask for social services to get involved-they can help advocate for you guys to spend more, not less time with your Mom, as hard as it may be.
Big ((((hugs))))
I agree with Tammi- I'm surprised that the doc is limiting your time with her. People can get so confused when they're that sick and in such an unfamiliar place as a hospital. In my work at a hospital and in hospice (where I work now), we tried to encourage family time because it usually helps reduce the patient's anxiety and sometimes some of the confusion. I would talk with the social worker or a nurse you trust, and see if they can advocate for you to get as much time with your mom as you want (remembering, of course, that you need to take care of yourself so you have the energy to support her). Sending big ((hugs)).
And I wish you strength and rest and calm as well... this must be just exhausting for you.
(((( hugs ))))
I am thinking of you and your family. Much peace.
