My mom is back in the hospital

Again. I can't imagine dealing with everything she has over the past few years. I can't remember when I last updated on her. I think it was May? Anyway, since then she's fallen and broken her hip (got a day pass to attend my sister's wedding in mid June). She's on full time hemo-dialysis and ended up with an infection in her muscle around her hip fracture. She has surgery yesterday and is now on daily dialysis and antibiotics. If it doesn't clear up, they are talking about amputating her leg at the hip! She is really scared, moreso than I have ever seen her. I feel bad for my dad, he's so stressed out.

Re: My mom is back in the hospital

  • oh no, I'm so sorry. I hope she turns around quickly.

  • I'm so sorry to hear that.  I hope she makes a full recovery, so that she won't have to have her leg amputated.  I imagine that is very scary.

  • Wow, that sounds awful. I am sorry to hear your mom and family are going threw this. I can't imagine how scary it would be for her.

  • Sorry to hear that Mel!

    Seeing your parents suffer is a no fun thing. Hope things start getting better for her!

  • I'm so sorry to hear about your mom Mel!  I hope things turn around for her and they are able to get her infection under conrol.  My dad is still in the hospital post amputation surgery, so having dealt with that issue personally, I pray that your family does not have to go through it too.
  • Mm dealt pretty well with her toe apmutations, but this would be entirely different than that. She's been fighting to regain some of her independance, to have such a set back would be very hard for her. I hope your dad is doing ok. It's hard to see our parents go through stuff like this. When did we become the caregivers?!

    Thanks all, for the kind words. Means alot!
