... One of those days...

My dad just called to tell me that my mom is in the hospital.
They went to the ER last night and they are admitting her.

Without getting too personal, she has a long list of serious health conditions including diabetes and has had a heart attack.

She went to the ER because of a diabetic complication, but they are keeping her there because she got woozy and dizzy and her heart rate is abnormal.

My mom spends a lot of time in the hospital... but getting the phone call that she's there never gets easier.

Sorry to be a downer... I just needed to 'talk'

*ETA*
Small update at the bottom of the thread

*UPDATE*-Monday Night
They moved my mom out of the unit she was in. She no longer needs 24/7 heart monitering which is a step in the right direction.
She will probably be there for a few days because her foot (the reason she went there in the first place) is not healing the way they would like.
She is on IV antibiotics.

She sounded much better on the phone today.

wow I hope everything is ok...

what hospital did they take her 2? let me know if u need to talk

awww so sorry !!! hope your mom gets better soon!!!!!!

I'll pray for your mom. Of course it never gets easier. That is not the kind of phone call anybody ever wants to get. I'll be thinking of you.

I saw her today. She doesnt seem AWFUL but she doesnt seem good either. It was very hard to see her like that.
According to my dad she's having problems with her kidneys as well.

When it rains... it pours.

You and your family are in my prayers and this is for you
