Latest trip to the ER

When mom woke up complaining of abdominal pain on Monday morning I knew I had to take her to the ER. Since this was the third morning of stomach pains I knew the doctors would direct us to do so. She was also in an extreme amount of pain on the left side of her body and we needed stronger medication to bring her comfort. We arrived at 9:00am and the summary was as follows:
1. She needed whole blood and platelet transfusion
2. She needs antibiotics because the diverticulitis is still present
3. They found a blood clot in her lower abdomen
4. They discussed the possibilities of a drainage for the diverticulitis
5. They put her on a two day bowel rest which means no food or drinks for two days
Morale of the story - they have admitted her again to the hospital.

At the very moment at 12:30pm on Tuesday she is stable and sleeping soundly with a good dose of some very strong pain medication. They are not concerned about the blood clot or diverticulitis at this point.

Their attention is now on the nerve pain on the left side of the body which could be an indication of the tumor working its way through the brain.

We do not know how long she will be in the hospital, it is almost not worth making a guess at how long she is in the hospital because they have not given us a time frame at all. I am guessing that we will be here for the good part of the week which means through Thanksgiving. It is so unpredictable though, it could be two days it could be two weeks.

She is in room P811 if anyone is interested in visiting her. Feel free to call my cell phone - 970-333-4035 if you would like further updates.
