Mom's Home

Mom spent all weekend at the hospital in a bed in the emergency room. Blood oxygen issues were just one of the fun problems along with shingles, possible kidney or urinary tract infection, and fluctuating blood pressure.

The ER told us to expect her home yesterday and she felt abandoned because we didn't go into see her. Sis and I are both furious because it was nearly impossible to get updates -- and promises to call us weren't honored at all -- which meant we didn't go in because we kept expecting the call to say "come pick her up."

It didn't help that they didn't tell us that she'd been put on oxygen, not yesterday but SATURDAY. Again, they said they didn't have time to give us information, but would call us back, but never did.

The weekend was frustrating.
