Hospitals are a scary place!

Hospitals sure are scary. My mom is in the hospital right now, since Sunday afternoon. I try to be there as much as I can. Tonight I left after I was sure she ate. Although she is not wanting to eat much. She was running a fever so they gave her Tylenol. I decided to go back to the hospital at 11:00pm to make sure she had a snack. Although I had asked that they give it to her around 10pm I just didn't feel comfortable with it and earlier in the evening she had said to me several times she wanted to go to heaven , which of course upset me tremendously. She kept saying she just didn't feel good. So anyhow I went back to the hospital , she was asleep, I asked if they had given her the protein shake and 1/2 sandwich she was supposed to have as her snack ,they didn't give it to her and they said they were busy. So I got her food, woke her up and made sure she got it and ate it. She said she had to go to the bathroom so I told the nurse and was sitting her up when I realized she was completely soaked. the back of her head. Her hospital gown and sheets were soaking wet. This was due to her fever earlier in the evening around 6pm. So Had I not gone she undoubtedly would have not gotten her snack and laid in a pool of sweat the entire night. The other day she was scheduled for surgery to put in a split stream catheter that was to go in her neck because her dialysis access arm had clotted and was no longer usable. The nurses kept saying it was going in her leg. Three different shifts kept telling me this. I knew it could not go in her leg unless no other option was available ,as now because both her arms have failed they are going to have to put a permanent graft in her leg and should that one ever fail then she only has one other leg to use for an access so it would be really bad if they put something in her leg that was going to create scar tissue and ultimately make it unusable as a access. So I called her main nephrologist and he called the surgeon who had planned on putting it in her leg , to clarify. The nephrologist explained to the surgeon that it needed to go in the neck. So the moral of this story folks is if you or a loved one is hospitalized then please watch, listen and pay attention and ask questions. These people are human and they don't always know whats best. I have seen so many potential mistakes that would have happened had I not been there to intervene. Its sad when you think a hospital is a good place, the nurses are too busy and have to many patients to care for and things get mis-comunicated very easily and also forgotten. It is really hard to see her in this state and being the only one going to sit with her and monitor things. My husband goes to see her too but he is working so mainly it is just me. I end up being the bad guy because I am the one harping on her to eat and get stronger and do all the things that she is trying not to do. I only do it for her own good and keep her healthier. I have been taking care of her for almost 10 years now , It does get very hard to watch her go through these things, it makes me sad. Tonight I broke down and cried trying to hold it in but i guess the stress has just finally caught up with me. I am still trying to fight it. In case you didnt know this all started on Thursday when she fell and hit her head and was bleeding and I had to take her to the E.R. They released her but said to keep a close eye then 2 days after the fall she had a seizure type episode which prompted me take her back to EMergency then they kept her and admitted her into the hospital. They found that her dialysis fistula/access had clotted. They are still running many tests and I am waiting to find out the results. Anyhow Sorry about the long winded stuff just had vent and share. Please keep her in your prayers.
If you have purchased from me please now I got caught up on all orders and if they were paid for they shipped out yesterday morning and the day before. Thank you.
