Could use your thoughts...

I feel like I have used up more than my fair share of these posts.. but...

My mom is in the hospital and has been since yesterday. Her hemoglobin and her red blood cell counts are very low, as is her potassium. Her pcp took her off her lasix and she gained 15 lbs of fluid in 5 days. She was having trouble breathing and ended up in the er yesterday morning and was admitted. She's having a blood transfusion now to get her counts back up and I don't know when they will send her home but she will be off work at least a week if not more. I'm really stressed out as I don't know what I would do without my mom but she is also the primary care giver for my kids while I am working so I'm scrambling to figure all that out too.. but really.. I just want her to be better. :(

Any thoughts and prayers you have would be hugely appreciated.
 
Oh Sara!! I'm so sorry to hear this! You know there's no limit on asking your friends for thoughts and prayers, right? Hang in there sweetie! Hope everything improves soon! <3
 
oh wow :( I'm praying your mom gets well soon! And hoping you find some help with the kids while she is getting better.
 
Oh, Sara, my thoughts and prayers are with your mom and your family. I hope 2013 is much better for you.
 
Sending prayers her (and your) way! Hope they get things figured out and she starts feeling better quickly.
 
thanks everyone!!!

She got discharged yesterday and is home resting now. They did a blood transfusion and changed around some of her medications and sent her home. She's lost 5 lbs of the fluid but her legs are still pretty swollen, so she's off work at least the rest of this week.

Thanks again!!!
 
Man, so sorry to hear this Sara. Hang in there and you guys are in my prayers. {Hugs}
