I have yet again, been neglectful of el bloggo.
Yesterday I spent the entire day in the hospital with my mom. The day before, she woke up feeling very nauseous, and by the time we had brunch, she couldn't keep food down. She was in bed the whole day, which is not the norm for her. Yesterday, she awoke, feeling the same way, so we went to a clinic, where they ran a bunch of tests. Evidently, in the ongoing quest to keep her lungs free enough of fluid to function, she was severely depleted of potassium, which can be fatal in her case. They had her report to the E.R., where they shot her up with the missing stuff, and admitted her for overnight observation. She and I had rented a movie earlier in the day, and I brought my laptop so we could watch it. I sincerely hope that I am there with her in this way for the majority of the time that she needs to be in such situations in the future. It meant a tremendous amount to both of us.
The doctor actually is going to release her at 8 am. That is cruel and unusual punishment in my book. What ever happened to noon? Bastard. Both my mom and I are vampires. We will melt or something.
