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