48 hours...(Day +15)

So....we were home for a total of 48 hours...and then....
C-diff hit....

Mom went in today for her daily infusions of needed medications...sometimes it is Potassium, sometimes Calcium...but today was a low down, lousy, no good day....


Mom couldn't keep anything down and she was spending more one-on-one time
with the ladies room than me...even after three doses of anti-nausea meds.

I discussed things with the RN, the doctor was consulted and it was decided that Mom most likely has C-diff which requires medications...which Mom probably can not tolerate orally at this point,
 so they must go in her IV.


So here we are again....
Mom was re-admitted for some IV medications and fluids to keep her hydrated during this time.
Hopefully she will be able to come reallllllly soon...

Her new phone number is

804-649-5404

....I would give her some rest tonight, she is really tired and honestly, a little mad at the whole situation.
She did not want to be back here AT ALL!

**you may look up C-diff for youself if you wish...but be prepared, it is not for the weak stomached individual...

  1. Bloody C Diff! I hope they can get everything under control and you'll be heading back home soon.

    Karen,
    I know I'm not in VA, but call if you need anything.
